259

ot only in intellectual circles of the so-called West, one of the most intensively
discussed issues in recent decades was and is how and to which extent Islam and
democratic structures are compatible. Is a country which is deeply rooted in Islam and
traditional values of Islamic societies able to develop a democratic society based on
human rights and the rule of law? I dont want to elaborate here on the various, often
controversial answers to this question. However, since the democratic aspirations of the Arab
Spring at large failed so miserably, since the beginning of the mass migration of millions of former
inhabitants of predominantly Muslim countries in Asia and Africa to Europe, this question is more
topical than ever before. Some might talk about the inevitableness of a clash of civilizations,
others might detect here the mother of all evils: Islamophobia. In any case, this tremendously
emotionalizing feature is bound to accompany us through years and years to come.
Our interest as a liberal foundation, as Liberals, in clarifying this matter, is slightly different,
however. We intend to focus more closely on the characteristics of a predominantly Islamic society
like the society of Turkey. We are deeply convinced that any given society will not succeed in
implementing democratic structures as long as the freedom of the individual, human and minority
rights, tolerance towards the other, the separation of powers, checks and balances within the
political system, the separation of the state from religious beliefs, in brief as long as liberal values
have not found deep and unshakeable roots. That is why we defined a set of questions related to
liberal values and tried to figure out whether Turkey is indeed as some outsiders might perceive
a country void of Liberalism or whether liberal and democratic values have already taken root
in the Turkish society. Hopefully, the lecture of our opinion poll will help you in attaining a clearer
picture in this regard.
The questionnaire of our opinion poll was accomplished in April 2016. The polling by a renowned and
independent Turkish public opinion poller was conducted in late June. Thus, the responses we got
from a representative sample of the Turkish population do not reflect potential changes in public
opinion due to the circumstances of the condemnable attempt of a Coup d tat in the midth of
July. In spite of these imponderabilia we are nevertheless sure that the results of our opinion poll
will help to better understand contemporary Turkish society and Turkish domestic politics.
On behalf of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, I would like to invite you to have
a close look into this empirical research. You will find a lot of insights that might trigger further
considerations on the political and societal reality of a country as fascinating as modern Turkey - a
country in limbo.

SUMMARY

SUMMARY

VOID OF LIBERALISM?
A VIEW ON LIBERAL VALUES IN TURKEY

PEOPLE SUPPORT DEMOCRACY

In search of liberal values in the Turkish society, we study the way in which people
understand and react to notions such as rights and liberties, tolerance, transparency, the
individual, separation of powers, checks and balances, the security-liberty binary, the state
and its role in society and the economy, economic models, and the relationship between
religion and politics.

TURKEY IS DEMOCRATIC

Turkey is not known for its liberal institutions and values. Rather, the political landscape
is occupied by conservative, nationalist, and secularist political movements. Can we detect
liberal ideas and values in such a political environment?

The aim is to understand how liberal values, policies, positions, and programs are perceived
by the people of Turkey, and to ascertain whether there is a social and cultural ground for
liberal ideas to grow.

LIBERTY IS THE IMPORTANT VALUE

Despite a general view that the people of Turkey prioritize communitarian values, the
survey results demonstrate that liberty is the value considered most important. When
people are asked Which of the following terms do you consider most important?, liberty
comes up with 41% as the most important value aside of equality, solidarity, welfare and
security. A quarter of the population value equality as the most important issue. However,
the importance attached to liberty seems to be a more of a positional declaration that is
independent of the hard choice people tend to make among those values on specific issues,
actors and developments. In practice and in specific cases, liberty may well be sacrificed.
Among the political parties, liberty is most valued by HDP voters (60%) and CHP voters
(55%). Likewise on the level of political identities, 61% of the Kurdish nationalists, 55% of
Kemalist-secularists, 48% of social democrats, and 46% of liberal democrats regard liberty
as the most important among other political values.
The 45-54 and 25-34 age cohorts are the ones that value liberty the most. (cf. 1.1)

11

There is a wide consensus on the importance of living under a democratic government. Only
4% view it as unimportant. The way it is defined and practiced may vary, but in principle
society at large finds democratic governance important. This reveals the extent to which
democracy is an essential legitimization for any government in Turkey. (cf. 1.2)

People are not pessimistic about the democratic character of the regime in Turkey. While
29% describe the regime as a full-fledged democracy, 44% think that it is partially (somehow)
democratic. The character of Turkeys political regime is defined as a democracy of some
sort, but for the majority it is not a mature one. Besides, one-quarter of the people argue
that the country is not democratic at all.
It seems that a sizable portion of the AKP voters are not happy with the democratic
performance of the country, as about half of them view Turkey as partially democratic.
For about half of the CHP and HDP supporters Turkey is not democratic at all.
People regard democracy as important, yet they have doubts concering its existence and
application in Turkey. (cf. 1.3 & 1.2)

HUMAN RIGHTS SITUATION


MORE OR LESS CONVINCING

People have a certain degree of skepticism that human rights are respected in Turkey. Only
18% think that human rights are respected to a great extent while 40% maintain that human
rights are partially respected. For 20%, human rights are not respected at all whereas 18%
think they are generally not respected. Among the opposition party supporters, however,
dissatisfaction about the state of human rights is with 45% to 65% very high, which poses
a great challenge. (cf.1.4)

12

SUMMARY

SUMMARY

APPROVING FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

FREEDOM FOR SOCIAL MEDIA

Among the spectrum of identities, banning expression of disturbing ideas in the media
only has majority support within the religious-conservative group.

FREEDOM OF PRESS

One of the criteria of freedom of expression is allowing the expression of views that may
shock people. The majority of people states that they are in favour of expressing ideas
on the media that may disturb them. Only one-third supports the idea of banning such
views from the media. Among the political parties the lowest support for full freedom of
expression comes from the AKP supporters, even though almost half of them express a
preference for liberty.

The great majority (76%) advocates freedom of expression even if the expressed ideas go
against their beliefs and values. This is an overwhelming support for a principled defence
of freedom of expression, which reflects the power and legitimacy of the idea of liberty in
principle. People seem to prioritize freedom of expression instead of jealously defending
their beliefs and values. Yet, as we will see in the responses to other questions below, this
has to be tested on specific issues and concerning specific actors. Besides, the grassroots
of the AKP and MHP, the conservative and nationalist right, tend to be more restrictive
compared to the CHP and the HDP voters. (cf. 1.5 & 1.7)

EXCEPTIONS TO FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

Though a common favour for freedom of expression exists, people made exceptions from
their principle stance.
31% say the government should curb racist ideas, 27% cite ideas advocating violence,
11% ideas criticizing religious values, and 9% ideas criticizing the government. Still, 18%
maintain that freedom of expression should not be curbed under any circumstances.
The limits to freedom of expression can also be analysed in terms of another set of issues
concerning the fundaments of the republic of Turkey. On this national set of issues, 32%
of people point to maintaining Turkeys territorial integrity as the justification for limiting
freedom of expression, while 24% mention safeguarding national integrity. For 14% it is
religious values, for 5% Ataturk and for 2% secularism that may be the grounds for limiting
freedom of expression. For 19% freedom of expression cannot be limited on any grounds.
(cf. 1.6 & 1.70)

13

A clear majority (52%) opposes blocking access to social media outlets such as Facebook
and Twitter. People hold a liberal view on freedom in social media. Yet, a sizable 27% think
access to social media can be blocked on security grounds, and 15% on the grounds of
protecting privacy. The group that is least in favour of free social media are AKP voters, of
whom 41% consider security reasons a valid ground to block them. (cf. 1.8)

People regard freedom of press as important. That view is held by 77%. There is a consensus
across political party and identity lines on the importance of press freedom. (cf. 1.65)

MEDIA BLACKOUTS

A pro-freedom attitude is taken on the recent practice of banning the broadcast of news
on some events. A majority of 55% regard the government bans on news coverage as an
infringement of press freedom. Only 31% of the respondents support news bans due to
public safety. (cf. 1.30)

CLOSING DOWN POLITICAL PARTIES

Political party activity depends on a range of liberties such as freedom of association,


speech, the right to vote, etc. Thus, a ban of political parties infringes more than one
fundamental right.
People who take a positive stand on rights and liberties in principle become restrictive
when it comes to the activities and presence of political parties. Only 27% assert that
political parties should not be closed down on any grounds. 44% approve shutting down
political parties that hold separatist ideas, and 9% political parties that call for an Islamic
state. And another 15% say that both pro-separatist and pro-Sharia political parties can be
closed down.
It appears that people are intolerant of some ideas that are advocated by certain political

14

SUMMARY

parties. Only a majority of HDP voters maintain that political parties should not be closed
down for any reason. The majority of all other political parties supporters approve shutting
down a political party with separatist or Islamist views or both.
As demonstrated above, more than three quarters of people claim that they are in favour
of freedom of speech even though it may go against their beliefs and values. But most of
these people (around three quarters of them) favour closing down political parties with
separatist and pro-Sharia views. It seems that people exempt some views from their list of
admissible opinions in terms of freedom of expression.
The approval rates for closing down pro-separatist parties among the Kemalists-secularists,
who are regarded more progressive by some observers, and nationalists-conservatives are
pretty close. Except social democrats and Kurdish nationalists all other political identities
display a similar restrictive attitude toward pro-separatist and pro-Sharia political parties.
(cf. 1.9)

BAN ALCOHOLIC DRINKS!

42% of the people want the government to ban the consumption and sale of alcoholic
drinks. It appears that there exists a significant tendency in society to intervene in the
choices and lifestyles of others. Interesting to note is that the pro-prohibition stand goes
up to 60% among the supporters of the ruling party. Thus, a move by the government to
impose restrictions on selling and consuming alcohol would, perhaps, be welcomed by its
grassroots.
Even almost half of those who define themselves as liberal/democrat advocate banning
the consumption and sale of alcoholic beverages. The most liberal on this issue are the
Kemalists-secularists of whom only 10% support a ban of alcohol. In addition, 60% of those
who advocate freedom of expression turn out to be prohibitionist when it comes to selling
and consuming alcohol. (cf. 1.10)

SUMMARY

15

STATE REGULATIONS

People do not appear to be disturbed by the states regulatory function. Only 31% of the
respondents feel that there are too many regulations that restrict their private life, while
39% say there are as many as necessary. One quarter of people complain that there are
not enough rules regulating their private life. Only HDP and CHP voters complain about
regulatory activities of the state on the private sphere. Leftist, secular and Kurdish segments
of society are more concerned about the states regulatory role in their private life.
Similarly, in business life people in general seem not to be concerned that rules and
regulations are overwhelming. While 34% say that rules and regulations about business life
are just as many as necessary, 27% think there are not enough rules that regulate business.
On the other hand, 29% complain that there are too many rules regulating business. (cf.
1.11 & 1.12)

FREEDOM OF RELIGIONS OTHER THAN ISLAM

The majority (56%) favours freedom for TV stations, radios, newspapers and books that
promote religions other than Islam, while one-third of society asks for prohibition of such
activities. Still, the AKP supporters seem less liberal on this issue. More than half of
conservative-religious people say promoting religion other than Islam should be banned.
(cf. 1.13)

TOLERATION OF OTHER RELIGIOUS BELIEFS

The majority (48%) does not oppose the construction of a church in their neighbourhood
while 45% would not want such a thing to happen. The AKP grassroots are more restrained
in comparison to others: 61% of them would not want a church in their neighbourhood.
A great majority (62%) would welcome a cemevi, an Alevi house of prayer, in their
neighbourhood, yet 43% of the AKP voters would not like to see one in their neighbourhood.

This attitude towards religious activities other than Islam and towards the presence of
churches and cemevis demonstrates a notable degree of tolerance, given the high level of
conservative and religious views in the wider public. (cf. 1.14 & 1.15)

16

SUMMARY

SUMMARY

RELIGIOUS SERVICES AND THE STATE

Religious services are provided by the Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet), an official
institution that is often criticized for conducting its services only for the Sunni sect of
Islam and disregarding the doctrine and practice of the Alevi sect. Almost half of the
population (46%) agrees with the idea that Diyanet should be reorganized in a way to serve
the Alevis, too. However, 44% find such a reform of Diyanet not appropriate. Among this
44% who oppose Diyanet providing a separate service for Alevis, 31% assert that it already
serves all Muslims including the Alevis, denying the claims of a Sunni-centered focus of
the institution. Besides, 13% of respondents also oppose Diyanet serving Alevis on the
grounds that the state should not be involved in religious affairs in the first place. (cf. 1.16)

DEMOCRACY SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER REGIMES


There is a great consensus on the virtue of democracy, as 87% agree that despite its
shortcomings democracy is still superior to all other regimes. This consensus clearly reflects
the legitimacy and discursive power of democracy in Turkey notwithstanding elements of
non-democratic practices, attitudes and political culture.

When we compare this to the attitude towards the alcohol ban, it is interesting to see
that 53% of those who want an imposition of a ban on the consumption and sale of
alcoholic beverages also view democracy as better than any other regime. For them, it
seems, interfering in life styles and choices of other people does not necessarily constitute
non-democratic behaviour. (cf. 1.17)

HUMAN RIGHTS UNIVERSAL

Despite some debate that human rights are shaped by culture, history, and tradition and
thus cannot be considered as universal, a great majority (92%) considers human rights to
be universal and to be enjoyed by everybody.
Yet, over 80% of those who regard human rights as universal and to be enjoyed by everybody
do not refrain from advocating the closure of political parties with separatist and Islamists
views. Thus, a principled stance on human rights or democracy does not necessarily
correspond with defending such values in specific cases involving specific actors. (cf. 1.18)

17

IN FAVOR OF LIBERAL DEMOCRACY

Democracy is highly valued. But the way it is understood may be quite a different matter,
and may devalue this notion. One such stance is to view democracy as majoritarian, in
which a government once elected is given a free hand to do whatever it wishes thus
favouring a majoritarian democracy.
A great majority (72%) holds the opinion that even if a majority elects the government, it
should still govern by respecting the rights of minorities. Such a stand reflects a liberal
perspective that governments are limited by the rights of each citizen. An interesting data
point is that one in five of the AKP supporters believes that an elected government can
govern as it wishes. Though limited, within circles of AKP supporters there is an element of
majoritarian democracy. (cf. 1.19)

DIVERSITY IN SOCIETY

A great majority is comfortable with an Alevi neighbour. 85% say they would not be
disturbed to have an Alevi neighbour.
Similarly, people would not be disturbed to have a Kurdish neighbour. Despite the current
state of violence related to the Kurdish question a majority of 83% would accept a Kurdish
neighbour. Despite their numbers and visibility in daily life, there is no strong prejudice
against refugees. 73% say they would not be disturbed to have a refugee as a neighbour.
People would also not mind a religious neighbour. 89% would accept a religious neighbour.
All this indicates that society is rather accommodative, and inclined to accept different
identities in the social environment.
Yet there is an exception to this. A clear majority (58%) would be disturbed to have a
homosexual neighbour. Among political party supporters there is some degree of differences.
The AKP and MHP voters are clearly less welcoming of homosexuals as neighbours. CHP
and HDP voters are comparatively more liberal. Among political identities leftist, secularKemalists and Kurdish nationalists are more open towards of a homosexual neighbour.
However, a homosexual neighbour would disturb 53% of those who call themselves liberal/
democrat. (cf. 1.20 1.24)

18

SUMMARY

REJECTING HOMOSEXUALITY

Almost half of the population thinks that homosexuality is a perversion, and as such has to
be prevented. This view is highest among the AKP supporters (61%), and lowest among the
CHP voters (28%). In a conservative society such as Turkey it is important to note that 44%
of people regard homosexuality as private life, and thus should not be interfered with.
Data shows that social democrats, secularists and Kemalists are clearly more liberal on
same sex relationships. (cf. 1.25)

EQUALITY OF WOMEN AND MEN

The role and status attached to women may be an important attribute of liberal values in any
given society. In Turkey for a great majority (59%) men and women are equal. Yet, one in five
thinks that women are different from men, and hence have to be guarded; and 15% view men
and women as unequal. Together, one third of people do not regard women as equal. There
is no significant difference of opinion between political parties supporters and identities.
When it comes to women who earn more than their husbands, people get more egalitarian.
Three quarters of people find no problem in women earning more than their husbands.
Yet 58% of people think that women have to get permission from their husbands before they
start working. Patriarchal cultural codes seem still to be prevailing in Turkey. Even among
women, the majority (54%) says women have to get the permission of their husband to work.
On this matter only the CHP voters differ from the rest with a more egalitarian attitude.
Secular, Kemalist and leftists groups appear to mirror this in contrast to other political
identity groups on the issue of equality of men and women. (cf. 1.26 1.28)

PUBLIC SAFETY AND FREEDOM

Public safety is a standard justification to limit rights and liberties. Even the European
Convention on Human Rights allows contracting parties to derogate temporarily from
some articles of the convention in emergency situations threatening public safety.
Yet the definition of public safety, if left to public authorities, may be abused. People
in Turkey seem not to regard public safety as a justification to limit liberties. 57% of
respondents believe that the government should not limit freedom of expression. (cf. 1.29)

SUMMARY

19

SECURITY THREATS AND LIBERTIES

People tend not to trade their liberties for security. 59% of the population asserts that they
would not give up their freedom in the face of security threats. The AKP and MHP voters are
more inclined to turn away from their freedoms while the CHP and HDP voters seem more
adamant on retaining them. (cf. 1.31)

SECURITY OR LIBERTY
THE ROLE OF THE STATE

People seem to be divided between the search for security and liberty. The primary duty of
the state is to secure rights and liberties of its citizens, according to 48% of population.
Provision of security and order is regarded the states primary duty by 45%. CHP and HDP
voters are more inclined to a state with a primary function of providing rights and liberties
for citizens. (cf. 1.32)

OBEYING THE RULES

The idea of the state is believed to be strong in Turkey, and its people not inclined to
confront state authorities. It may be helpful to see to what extent people are prepared to
submit to the state, obey its authority and the established rule. One third of society says
that they would obey every rule of the state. Yet another third maintains that they would
obey rules they dont approve of but meanwhile criticize them. 29% claim that they would
not obey rules they do not approve. The idea of obedience is higher among the AKP voters
and the people with a conservative-religious identity.
It appears that people are more critical of the state than conventionally assumed. (cf. 1.33)

20

SUMMARY

CRITICIZING THE STATE

Seeing how the people position themselves vis--vis the state may be important to evaluate
liberal values in any society.
A great majority (70%) of people believe that the state can be freely criticized on every
issue, whereas 21% think that it is not right to criticize the state. The state and obedience
to it seem to be an important part of political culture in Turkey but this does not extend
to regarding the state as a sacred entity beyond criticism. It should still be noted that one
third of the AKP voters think that criticizing the state is not right. (cf. 1.34)

LIBERTIES AND THE STATE

A significant portion of society perceives the state as a threat to their rights and liberties.
Almost half the population claims that their basic rights and liberties have been recently
threatened by the state. This view goes up to 57% among the MHP, 70% among the CHP and
83% among the HDP voters. In short, supporters of opposition parties do not feel free, and
consider their rights and liberties being threatened by the state. (cf. 1.35)

THE LIBERTY-SECURITY BINARY

When asked to chose between two set of values - liberty-justice-democracy on the one
hand and security-strong leadership-stability on the other - a great majority opts for the
former. 62% prefer the set of liberty-justice-democracy, indicating a significant tendency
towards more liberal values. Half of the AKP voters chose this set of values, as well. The
preference for liberty-democracy-justice reaches 78% among CHP voters and 81% of HDP
voters. (cf. 1.64)

SUMMARY

21

CONSTRAINTS OF DEMOCRACY

Contrary to some other results in this survey that show the prioritizing of liberties over
security, some are inclined to constrain democracy in the face of security threats. For
the sake of providing security and order democracy may be compromised says half of
respondents. This reflects the presence of an element of political culture that is prepared
to sacrifice democracy, and demonstrates that Turkey does not have a consolidated
democracy, yet.
Among the political parties only the majority of the CHP voters disagree with the idea that
democracy can be constrained for the sake of security and order. (cf. 1.66)

GIVING UP LIBERTIES IN THE


FACE OF TERRORISM

Terrorism has been threatening liberal regimes worldwide. People are concerned that due to
the fight against terrorism they have to give up some of their basic rights and liberties. But
the majority (47%) in Turkey think that they do not need to give up their rights and liberties to
fight terrorism, while 41% are prepared to abandon some of their rights. The struggle against
terrorism may be a convincing argument for derogating from some of the basic rights. There
is, however, a solid ground for the defence of rights and liberties under any circumstances.
Even in the face of terrorism and security threats a significant part of people seems not to be
willing to give up their basic rights and liberties. (cf. 1.36)

FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM


HARMS RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES?

Given the rise of terrorist attacks in recent years, fighting such violence is a necessity for
governments. It is a fight that garners wide popular support. But what about its cost to individual
rights and liberties?
A majority of 57% in Turkey thinks that the fight against terrorism has deviated from its original
purpose and begun to damage basic rights and freedoms, while 38% oppose this view. Even 43%
of the supporters of the ruling party are convinced that anti-terrorism measures are harming
human rights and do not hit the real target.

22

SUMMARY

So there is a concern that terrorism and the fight against it will result in a narrowing of the
space for rights and liberties. But there is also a sizable group of people who are ready to
sacrifice their rights and liberties in the fight against terrorism.
Can the fight against terrorism be conducted within the rule of law? The belief that terrorism
cannot be eliminated while remaining within the boundaries of the rule of law is the source of
concern that anti-terrorism measures will limit the benefit of rights and liberties.
In fact, there is a strong view that, if necessary in the struggle against terrorism, security
forces should not be bound by the rule of law. 44% think this way, seeing the struggle against
terrorism as a legitimate reason for acting outside the law. The majority of AKP and MHP voters
approve acting outside the law in the fight against terrorism.
However, a majority of 47% maintains that the fight against terrorism should be conducted
within the law. (cf. 1.37 & 1.38)

CHECKS AND BALANCES

The separation of powers is an important principle and mechanism to ensure a liberal


democratic regime. It requires the judiciary to check and oversee the executive branch of
the state.
The majority (59%) in Turkey thinks that the judiciarys checks and control over the executive
branch ensure the compliance of the government with laws and rules while 28% regard this
as an unnecessary practice that blocks the way of the government. This strong support for
judicial control over the executive demonstrates the social base in favour of the rule of law
and the separation of powers in Turkey. (cf. 1.39)

INDEPENDENCE OF JUDICIARY

The rule of law includes independence of the judiciary from government. People in Turkey
overwhelmingly (67%) support the idea that the judiciary should be independent from
government. Yet one in five holds the view that the judiciary should be subordinated to
government. Furthermore, one-third of the AKP voters prefer the subordination of the
judiciary to government. (cf. 1.40)

SUMMARY

23

PRIVACY

Just less than one third of the population wants the state to respect privacy and not to
collect information about citizens private life. However, security issues are viewed as an
exception to the right to privacy, as 55% of people say that the state is allowed to collect
private information about citizens only for security reasons. (cf. 1.41)

BEST MODEL FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

It seems that there is a substantial pro-market economic perspective in Turkey. 38% of


people think that the market economy is an effective way to achieve economic development,
while 25% are in favour of a state-run economy. 31% of respondents view a mixed economic
model in which the state and market forces work together as the best path to economic
development.
Pro-market economy views are stronger among the voters of the left leaning political
parties CHP and HDP. (cf. 1.42)

TRANSPARENCY IN STATE SPENDING

The majority consider that the state is not transparent about its spending. More than half
of respondents say that they cannot reach information about how their taxes have been
spent by the state.
A great majority of 61% believes that governments procurement and spending are not
properly controlled. (cf. 1.43 & 1.74)

24

SUMMARY

PRIVATE PROPERTY

SUMMARY

25

THE STATES SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Property right is not seen as absolute, but limited by the public good. While 36% of
respondents argue that the state cannot confiscate private property on any grounds, more
than half of people think that for the public good the state can confiscate private property.
Ambiguities surrounding the notion of the public good provide a loophole for protection
of private property, and public opinion is prepared to buy the public good argument.

Is the state responsible for the wellbeing of its citizens? If so, does it involve a responsibility
to provide them with financial resources? Should the state be a nightwatchman, or a
provider of benefits to its citizens?

An interesting detail is that among the left-leaning political party supporters such as the
CHP and HDP, support of private property reaches 53% and 56% respectively, whereas only
24% of the AKP voters express the view that the state cannot take over private property on
any grounds. The leftists, social democrats, secularists and Kemalists are more inclined to
defend private property as an absolute right. (cf. 1.44)

In addition to this, almost all people (96%) agree with the statement that the state should
help the poor.

PRICES SET BY STATE AND MARKETS

Who sets the prices of goods and services defines the characteristics of an economic
model. Public skepticism about the market can also be seen in the role attributed to
market forces and the state. One quarter of society thinks that the state should set the
price of goods and services, while only 15% give this function to market forces. The majority
goes for a mixed role of the state and the market, agreeing that markets should set the
price within the limits determined by the state.
Public opinion perceives the state as a price-setting economic agent, and this idea is
almost equally held by the grassroots of all political parties. (cf. 1.45)

A great majority agrees that the state should provide its citizens with subsistence benefits
for their wellbeing as this will help reduce poverty (61%).

A form of the welfare state notion seems to be widespread in Turkey. People want to see
the state taking on a responsibility to provide basic services to the needy; a vision of a
paternal state looking after society prevails. All political party grassroots and political
identity groups share the same perspective. (cf.1.47 & 1.53)

WEALTH THROUGH HONEST WORK

Do people think that they can become rich with their own skills, efforts and enterprise by
working honestly, or is it something that is given by some external, uncontrollable factors?
The majority (51%) thinks that people can become rich by working honestly whereas 22%
believe wealth is possible with the states favours, and 21% through corrupt activities. The
belief of the majority reflects their trust not only in themselves but also in the economy
and institutions. However, it is important to note that close to half of people point to
illegal ways, abnormal ways as the source of wealth. (cf. 1.46)

SUCCESS THROUGH OWN EFFORTS

Do individuals see themselves as agents capable of shaping their fate or as subject to a


greater and external power?
A majority of 55% thinks that success is attainable through our own efforts while a sizable
39% believe that success in life is determined by factors like the state, family, fate and
environment. The majority considers themselves the makers of their own lives and fate
instead of attributing achievements to external factors. (cf. 1.48)

26

SUMMARY

COMPETITION

People are in favour of competition. 69% agree that competition in business and the
economy is good and necessary. (cf. 1.49)

TOP PRIORITY ISSUE

For 40% of the people, the most important issue to tackle in upcoming years should be
security . Given the turmoil in Turkeys neighbourhood and terrorist attacks within the
country, prioritizing security as a national issue is understandable. Yet a significant portion
of society (35%) stated that it is economic development/welfare that should be the main
issue to focus on, while 19% refer to rights and liberties as the top priority issue.
Among political parties, the CHP and HDP voters, though slightly, differ from the rest with
their relatively high emphasis on rights and liberties as the most important issue to be
addressed. (cf. 1.50)

PRIMARY IDENTITIES

The majority of 53% define themselves as a citizen of the Republic of Turkey. Thus,
citizenship is the most binding identity for people. A notion of citizenship cuts across all
other identities constituting the most common bound among the people of Turkey.
The second most shared identity is Turkishness as 26% define themselves as Turkish. Being
a Muslim is the third primary identity in Turkey with 11%, and then comes Kurdishness as
the fourth with 7%. (cf. 1.51)

RANKING RESPONSIBILITIES

People feel primarily responsible for their family (43%), then comes themselves (27%), their
religion (13%), the state (7%), and the nation (7%).
References to family and one-self may be regarded as an indication of the level of
individualization. (cf. 1.52)

SUMMARY

27

TAX THE RICH MORE

An overwhelming majority assert the view that the rich must be taxed more. There is an
almost total consensus among political party supporters and identities in Turkey about
higher taxes for the rich. (cf. 1.54)

TAXES AND GOVERNMENT SPENDING

55% of people agree with the statement that governments are usually ineffective and
waste peoples taxes while 39% disagree.
It seems that across the political spectrum there exists a substantial skepticism about the
efficiency of the state. (cf. 1.55)

SACRIFICING YOURSELF

A great majority of people are prepared to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their country.
66% say they would sacrifice their life for their country. This demonstrates peoples level
of patriotism as well as their strong identification with a collective notion of us. (cf. 1.56)

RESPECTING THE OTHER

A vast majority of 79% disagrees with the statement: I do not respect those, who hold
different views.
Similarly, 82% of people say they do not disrespect those who have different religious
beliefs.
Moreover, 82% say they do not disrespect those who have a different life style.
Data show that people refrain from plunging into a categorical rejection of those who
are different. Different ideas, beliefs and lifestyles are not considered to be the basis for
disrespect and enmity. (cf. 1.57 - 1.59)

28

SUMMARY

RELIGIOSITY

People of Turkey, who are overwhelmingly Muslim, are believed to have strong religious
beliefs. While religiosity has become much more visible in recent years, there is a debate
over whether the level of religiosity has increased indeed in recent years.
This debate aside, those who describe themselves as religious stand at 52% while 45%
say they believe in God but are not religious.
The AKP grassroots are the most religious, with 71% identifying in that way, while the CHP
voters are the least religious. Only 20% of them say they are religious. HDP voters (53%)
appear more religious than the MHP voters (43%). (cf. 1.60)

RELIGION AND THE STATE,


RELIGION AND POLITICS

Data show that the majority regards religion as somehow related to governance. 24% think
that religion should be the basis of the conduct of government while 31% claim that
religious values should also be taken into consideration in the conduct of government.
So, more than half of the population sees the relevance of religion and religious values for
governmental affairs, significantly distinct and different from a secular detachment of the
state from religion. 38% of the AKP voters say that religion should be the basis of the state
while another 38% of them say that religious values should be taken into consideration
in the conduct of government. Only 20% of the AKP electorate calls for a separation of
religion from the state.
In addition, 47% of conservative/religious people advocate the view that religion should be
the basis of the state.
As for a more secular stand, 41% of people maintain that the state and governmental
affairs should be independent from religion. 81% of CHP supporters are of this view.
Still, a great majority (70%) also states that separation of religion and politics is a good
thing. Yet 31% of the AKP voters regard separation of religion and politics a bad thing.
This may appear confusing as the majority wants to see both a separation of religion and
politics on the one hand, and religion being the basis of the state or taken into account in
governmental affairs on the other. (cf. 1.61 & 1.62)

SUMMARY

29

AN ISLAMIC STATE HAS SUPPORT

The term Islamic State has a good stance in society, as a majority of 62% considers it
positively. Among party lines, most party voters share the assessment of the wider public,
while AKP voters value an Islamic State with 79% the most. 61% of the MHP voters and
63% HDP voters supports the idea of an Islamic state. On the other hand, CHP voters stand
out with 68% opposing the term. (1.63)

CURRICULUM ON RELIGION AND


ETHICS IN SCHOOLS

A course on religion and ethics is compulsory from elementary schools to high schools. It
is often criticized for teaching only a Sunni interpretation of Islam, and thus should either
be reformed, dropped or be turned into an optional course.
For the majority (52%) of people, the religion and ethics courses should remain compulsory.
42% want this course to be optional, whereas only 2% ask for a removal of this course from
the national curriculum. (cf. 1.69)

MEMBERSHIP OF SOCIETIES

A great majority (68%) of people declares that they have never become a member of any
society. This displays the low level of civil society networks as well as their weakness. (cf. 1.67)

PRESIDENTS LAWSUITS: RIGHT OR WRONG?

The majority (45%) thinks that legal cases initiated against some citizens on the
grounds that they have insulted the president are not being used to suppress the
opponents. On the contrary, such cases are right for protecting the honour and dignity
of the president. However, 42% of people are of the view that these cases are being
used to silence dissidents. Voters of opposition parties share this assessment with
54.4% (MHP) to 71.1% (CHP). (cf. 1.68)

30

SUMMARY

CHAPTER ONE

CENTRALIZATION AND DE-CENTRALIZATION


The issue of de-centralisation of Turkeys administrative structure comes up for debate,
occasionally. One way of reforming Turkeys centralised administrative structure is to
delegate some power to local governments and councils. When asked whether they want to
have new regional administrative units bringing several provinces together 57% of people
say no while 28% say yes. HDP voters overwhelmingly support the idea of setting up
new regional administrative units. The support for such a model reaches only 28% among
the AKP, 21% among the CHP and 22% among the MHP voters. It appears that the idea has
some certain, though low, level of support from all political party grassroots.
This does not mean support for a form of federal system but for strengthened local
governments. However, it must be noted that still the majority (53%) prefers a strong
centralised government as it is today. Although only 27% ask for a strengthened local
government and 11% for regional-federal government one should not underestimate the
dynamics and demands for de-centralisation of Turkeys administrative structure. (cf. 1.71
& 1.73)

KURDISH AS A LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION

On the issue of Kurdish as language of instruction in schools, the public appears to be


split in halves. While 46% favour Kurdish as language of instruction alongside with Turkish
in the Kurdish populated areas, 45% oppose this idea. Given the current security-driven
circumstances of the Kurdish question the support for a joint Turkish-Kurdish instruction
model is significantly high. Half of the AKP supporters and 42% of CHP voters are in favour
of such a model. (cf. 1.72)
