by Lale Kemal, Today's Zaman, Turkey - In a democracy the national agenda is not hijacked by the question of whether or not generals suspected of plotting a coup should be promoted or not. In Turkey we have been occupied with this issue for some time now, even though there are much more important problems to address, such as the Kurdish issue. Furthermore, the way legal cases are handled, as seen by the trial of the suspected generals, displays how serious our problems are as a result of the unsettled issue of democratizing civilian-military relations.
