EU recommendations have contributed to Turkey's political Islamisation

The Friday coup in Turkey is another installment of president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's process of taking over full power. However, with the emergence of authoritarian tendencies, the level of political Islamisation of Turkey is besides increasing, as the 2 institutions guaranteeing the secularity of the state – the military and the Constitutional Court yet lose their position. The European Commission and the Venice Commission, which gave president Erdoğan the green light to change the constitution, are liable for their weakening of their co-responsibility," says Dr. Mariusz Sulkowski, associate of the Jagiellonian Club Analysis Centre, global expert.
