"Conservative democracy (Turkish: Muhafazak\u00E2r demokrasi ) is a term coined by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) of Turkey to describe their prevailing political outlook on social and moral issues. Forming as a modernist break-away party from former Islamist movements, the AKP's conservative democratic ideology has been described as a departure from or moderation of Islamic democracy and the endorsement of more secular and democratic values."@en . .
