ng_an_islamist_victory/<br />
By Steven A. Cook: On Sunday, Turks overwhelmingly voted to return the ruling Islamist<br />
Justice <strong>and</strong> Development Party (AKP) to office with 46.6 percent of the vote. Turkey's two<br />
main secular parties did not even come close to this tally, combining for 34 percent of the<br />
vote. The stakes in these elections were high, including Turkey's future democratic<br />
development, how religion will be accommodated in an officially secular state, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
prospects for Turkey's place in Europe <strong>and</strong> the Middle East.<br />
