Courts of State Security, Virtue Party, Gaziosmanpasa Incident, Necmettin Erbakan, Tayyip Erdogan, Milli Gorus, "Susurluk", Ankara Agreement... These entries, as well as their analysis, constitute only a small part of the complex political and social reality of present-day Turkey.
This work is a cognitive and analytical approach to specific characteristics of Turkish political life and society in the form of compiled entries. The aim is to provide the Greek reader with a better understanding of this country, particularly in a time when the leaders of the European Union have offered Turkey an opportunity for democratization and development. For this reason, understanding and delving into the functioning of the Turkish state is imperative, especially in an era when this country is trying to establish itself as a leading power in its region.
In this handbook, in addition to the section where the entries are analyzed, there are also included a Dictionary of Turkish Acronyms - Abbreviations, Tables with the Presidents and Prime Ministers of the Turkish Republic, Tables with demographic data, as well as Tables with economic data.
