Abstract

The article discusses reactions to the election of Abdullah Gul as the president of Turkey. The "London Times" described Gul's election as a victory for democracy, noting that his reputation abroad was that of a modernizer. According to the Great Britain's "Telegraph" the elected leader is at risk of being forcibly removed by Turkey's military leaders. Germany's "Frankfurter Rundschau" believes that the president can influence conservative skeptics to support liberal democracy.
