This story pretty well summarizes the state of affairs in Turkey; it's a country with two ruling factions. The military is very wary of Islamic rule and has in the past led coups to prevent Islamic government. The most recent military action was in 1997. The current government is rooted in political Islam. What Turkey does will depend on who wins the current power struggle, and it may be a military victory.

Remember these things when you claim that Turkey is a supporter of the US war on Iraq. That support rests on the willingness of the military to overthrow the legitimately elected government.
