Yet the largest bloc of voters in the December 1993 democratic elections, which were weighted in favor of traditional political parties, supported Refah, or Welfare, Turkey's largest Islamist party.
Refah's coalition partner -- the True Path party of former Prime Minister Tansu Ciller -- was secular.
Instead, President Suleyman Demirel turned to the conservative Motherland party and Mesut Yilmaz to form a new government.
So Turkey’s political system came, once more, under the control of a secular party.
But the central issue--whether or not there is a place for a religious party in a democracy--is unlikely to go away, for several reasons.
Refah remains the largest party; its 22% of the vote in 1995 parliamentary elections translated into almost a third of the parliament’s 550 seats.
New elections, which look unavoidable in the next year, are unlikely to change that fact -- unless the party is banned.
In May, the state prosecutor filed a suit in Turkey's constitutional court to have Refah, which is not a new party by any means, banned on the grounds that it is a religious party in a secular state.
Refah's followers would probably try to form another party with a similar mandate but without the formal symbols or language of an Islamist movement.
While many voters selected Refah because of its platform, others turned to a religious party as a means of rejecting the traditional parties and their exclusionary tactics.
So trying to squelch the party -- in court, at the hands of the military, or through legislation -- may only flaw Turkey's political system further.
Over the next year, Turkish politicians would do well to remember that record and the broader context of the party's appeal as the fate of Refah and key questions about Turkey's political system are determined.
