The AKP should take comfort in its large majority and start to view minority views and even peaceful dissent more benignly, in a way that befits a country negotiating accession to the European Union. The lesson of the two elections is clear: Turkey’s voters want a strong, stable government, but not one that runs roughshod over its opponents.
新政府必须避免的主要陷阱是回归家长式治国。AKP应该对其所获得的大多数感到欣慰，并开始更温和地对待少数派观点甚至和平异见者，以利于土耳其和欧盟的入盟谈判。两次选举的教训是显而易见的：土耳其选民希望看到一个强大、稳定的政府，但也不能冷酷无情的践踏反对派。
