செய்தி:இஸ்லாமிஸ்ட் பிரதமரை எதிர்த்து துருக்கியர்கள் பேரணி
கேமல் அடாடுர்க் என்பவரால் மதச்சார்பற்ற அரசாங்கம் துருக்கியில் அமைக்கப்பட்டது.
அன்றிலிருந்து அரசாங்கத்தின் அதிகாரப்பூர்வமான நிலைப்பாடாக மதச்சார்பின்மை இருந்துவருகிறது.
எர்டோகன் என்பவர் இஸ்லாமிஸ்ட் கட்சியின் தலைவராக பொறுப்பேற்று தற்போது பிரதமராக இருக்கிறார். அவர் ஜனாதிபதி பதவிக்கு நிற்கலாம் என்ற நிலை இருக்கிறது.
அவருக்கும் அவரது கட்சியின் இஸ்லாமிஸ்ட் நிலைப்பாடுக்கும் எதிராக துருக்கி மக்கள் சுமார் 3 லட்சம் மக்கள் பேரணி நடத்தினார்கள்.
துருக்கி மதச்சார்பற்ற நாடாகத்தான் இருக்கவேண்டும் என்ற கோஷமிட்டு இவர்கள் சென்றார்கள்.

'Turkey, secular forever' - Protesters
Thousands of Turks protest against Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan standing for presidential because of his Islamist roots.
Erdogan's ruling A.K. Party has its background in political Islam, and a possible presidency headed by Erdogan has split secular but predominantly Muslim country Turkey seeking European Union membership.
Hundreds of thousands rally against Turkish government
Hundreds of thousands of people marched in Ankara on Saturday to try to stop the ruling AK Party from picking Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan as their presidential candidate because of his Islamist roots.
The AK Party has its background in political Islam, and the possibility of an Erdogan presidency after parliament votes in May has split secular but predominantly Muslim country Turkey, which is engaged in membership talks with the European Union.
"Turkey is secular and will remain secular," shouted protesters as they waved national flags and banners of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, revered founder of the republic which separated religion and state.
Tens of thousands of people were bussed into Ankara from across the country to attend the rally in Tandogan square, one of the biggest gatherings in recent years.
"This is the biggest political rally ever in Ankara," said Deniz Baykal, leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party.
Tens of thousands of people waving flags and clutching portraits of Ataturk later gathered at his mausoleum, a place where Turks seek solace in times of tension.
The secular elite of generals, judges and university rectors fears Erdogan as president would try to undermine the strictly secular state.
The AK Party has a big enough majority in parliament to elect Erdogan, or anybody else it chooses, to the seven-year post as head of state.
Erdogan denies any Islamist agenda and says he has broken with his past and is now a conservative democrat. Erdogan, who has presided over strong economic growth and the launch of EU entry talks, has not confirmed whether he will run.
