The political trial of Fethullah Gulen, a moderate Turkish
religious leader, helped to greatly expand civil liberties and
strengthen democracy in Turkey. The trial began in 2000 in an
Ankara state security court (now disbanded) and ended in 2008 in an
appeals court in Gulen's favor. This book explores Gulen's trial,
examines the evolving process of Turkey's efforts to enter the
European Union, and discusses ways that the EU's insistence on
expanding civil liberties in Turkey and reforming the judicial
system affected the outcome of the trial (and vice versa). As a
coda, the book considers unsuccessful efforts to block Gulen's
application for immigrant status in the United States as a
religious scholar, which occurred during the same time as his
political trial in Turkey."
