Moreover, Fethullah Gulen, a large, moderate and fairly apolitical a new moderate Islamist movement in Turkey has a contribution to the development of Islam ? • Turkey ‘s AKP as a model for the rest of the Middle East , or can be an important source ofpolitical experience ? • The growing role of Turkey in the Middle East , the country’s European Union accession will affect the fight ? • In Turkey, at the official level , both in the eyes of the people behind the growing anti – American attitude wonder what are they? How these developments ” permanent ” and this , what does it mean for the Middle East . Turkish policy towards the Middle East, what will be the determining dynamics and how they will affect U.S. interests and policies .
