Successful modernization and democratization of Turkey – with a strong civil society, the rule of law, and a modern economy – will not only be hugely beneficial for Turkey, but will also export stability and serve as a model for transformation in the Islamic world. Above all, the successful modernization of a large Muslim country will make a decisive contribution to Europe’s security.
土耳其的现代化和民主化如果成功——形成坚强、文明的社会、法制以及现代化的经济——不仅仅对土耳其自己有着极大的好处，而且还将输出稳定，成为伊斯兰世界转型的榜样。最重要的是，一个穆斯林大国的现代化成功将对欧洲的安全做出决定性的贡献。
