Last April, Gül’s candidacy brought a threat of a coup from the military, precipitating the recent elections. Thus, the electorate also made it clear that it no longer wanted the military involved in domestic politics, rejecting the generals’ warnings that the AKP would lead the country into the darkness of theocratic rule.
去年四月，居尔的总统候选人资格引发了军方的政变威胁，也促成了最近的大选。因此，选民们清楚地表明了他们不再想让军方介入内政，抵制了将军们关于AKP会将土耳其引入神权统治的黑暗的警告。
