Erdoghan's Justice and Development Party sealed a truly shattering victory at Turkish Parliamentary elections, getting over 47% of votes. In comparison with unassuming 34% in 2002, this is indeed a considerable break. The victory of the party not only means reverting to Islamic values, but to nationalist and patriotic moods.
