Rights, Wrongs, and Freedoms in Turkey

Turkey is an interesting case of the 'Clash of Civilizations,' with various segments of society becoming more liberal on gender relations and lifestyle choices, as has been the case in the West, while trends in the rest of the society more resemble those in most Islamic nations. To add to the complexity, political divisions in the country are also increasingly built around these cultural cleavages, between the ruling AKP and more 'liberal' opposition parties.
