RADIKAL
-- THE COUNTRY LOOKING FOR ITS OBAMA
Radikal's editor-in-chief Ismet Berkan writes: Turkey is looking for a leader who is aware of the need for change. Barack Obama has not leaned on big political powers, nor has he started out with big money. He had some words to say, which would fit the needs of his country. He started from the edge and reached the masses. This is the snowball effect in politics. You take off alone and millions follow you. Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) was, in a sense, like "Obama". But perhaps they were not aware of it. They thought that the people voted for the AKP to approve their agenda of political Islam, not for change. Turkey's demography and economic growth in the past six years made it easy to find an urban alternative. In that sense, the AKP was the last rural party in Turkey. Right for that reason, Turkey is looking for its "Obama".
