Best Answer

Until 2000's Turkey was a hybrid regime with many elements of democracy and hidden military power. In this decade, Turkey has got rid of military elements by the sake of some courts which was very politically motivated. Many journalists and writers of opposition has been jailed with obscure reasons. Today, in the third term of ruling Islamist party AKP, Turkey is more like a Dictatorship which is like a mixture of Putin's Russia and Middle-Eastern theocratic dictatorships. However, civil society 'still' has some power, although it is getting worse everyday.
