Hiro, Dilip. Korans as well as credit. (Turkey's dissemination of aid and Islam) Middle East, n214 (August, 1992):13 (3 pages). Abstract: The government of Turkey has been reviving Turkey's Ottoman-empire days by taking a special interest in the welfare of the Balkans and Central Asia. Aside from promoting itself as a westernized secular model for development, Turkey has been pushing Islamic ideas and education to the Balkan and Central Asian countries, and is taking credit for it. However, recent developments in Turkey and abroad have revealed contradictions in the Turkish government's sincerity.

Islam returns to politics: Turkey. (Islamic resurgence) Economist v326, n7800 (Feb 27, 1993):58. Abstract: The Welfare Party under Necmettin Erbakan is gaining waging campaigns t bring Islam into the political mainstream. A more radical form of Islam became evident when a car bomb killed journalist Ugur Mumcu, who supported a secular republican government.
Kadioglu, Ayse. Women's subordination in Turkey: is Islam really the villain? Middle East Journal v48, n4 (Autumn, 1994):645 (16 pages).Abstract: Traditional Islamic scholars and secular westernized intellectuals are responsible for the conflicts in views that have led to the low status accorded to Turkish women. Some intellectuals say that Islam accords a high respect for women, citing female idol worship of Lat, Uzza and Menat by ancient Meccans, while other cite female infanticide, the prevalence of polygyny and patrilineal marriages in pre-Islamic era as causes of the low social status of women in Turkey.
Kendirbaeva, Gulnar. Time of independence, time of trial: Islam and the political situation in the C.I.S. (Turkey and Iran influence politics of Commonwealth Independent States) Asian Affairs v24, n3 (Oct, 1993):280. Abstract: Turkey and Iran attempt to influence the politics of the new independent states in the former Soviet Union, but do not intend to export Islam. The Economic Cooperation Organisation unites Iran, Turkey and Pakistan and aims for the establishment of a Common Islamic Market. Some Muslim clergy in the former Soviet Union pursue political activities and Muslim Religious Boards divide into national units. Popular Islamic fundamentalism is nationalistic.

Ogutcu, Mehmet. Islam and the West: can Turkey bridge the gap? Futures v26, n8 (Oct, 1994):811 (19 pages). Abstract: Religion is on the rise across the world. Talk of a Christian-Muslim confrontation to replace the Cold War ideological cleavage is widespread. Misperceptions among Muslims and Christians reinforce confrontational rhetoric. The instant images of Islam as a monolithic, violent and aggressive religion do not help. The West needs to rethink its traditional views of Islam, starting with the recognition that there exist many different brands of Islam. The chronic instability of Muslim countries has many causes other than religion. Islamic fundamentalism coincides with high unemployment among the fast growing young populations of most Muslim countries. And Turkey, as the model of a European state which combines modern capitalism and secular democracy with a moderate brand of Islam, could find a credible role for itself as a bridge between the two religions and cultures. For an Islam ready to look to its future, not its past, Turkey is needed to demonstrate a viable model, particularly for the newly independent Turkic republics of the former Soviet Union. Only secular, genuine and strong democracies can survive the test of Muslim fundamentalism. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

Sakallioglu, Umit Cizre. Parameters and strategies of Islam-state interaction in Republican Turkey. International Journal of Middle East Studies v28, n2 (May, 1996):231 (21 pages).Abstract: A main feature of the Turkish state has been its continuous control over Islam, despite its changing strategy towards Islam. The Turkish state has been instrumental in determining the political role of Islam and its political relevance in the Republic. The Turkish state segregated Islam and the political realm, but on the other hand also incorporated Islamic politics into the system in various ways. The appeal of radical Islam has been less effective because of the low-key stance of the state in relation to the manifestations of Islam.
