Can secularism and Islam be reconciled in Turkey?

Tweet

Turkey's top court has ruled that a first round parliamentary vote to elect a new president was invalid. The ruling comes after days of demonstrations against the only presidential candidate Abdullah Gul - who has been criticised for his strong Islamic links. The election has pitted secularists against the Islamist-rooted AK party, which has an overwhelming majority in parliament. The ruling could pave the way for Prime Minister Tayyip Recep Erdogan to propose a different candidate or call a snap general election. What is your reaction to the court's decision? Are you in Turkey? Have you witnessed the protests? What do you think about the current political unrest in the country?
