Turkey has been through a period of power struggle between the military and former the Islamist government which resulted in the military as the victors. Even if there still are armed clashes in the east of the country, Turkey is stable.
The conflicts with the Kurdish population and the Kurdish military group PKK, persists, and stays on as an important factor in Turkish political life. The policies of the Turkish governments in this field, have been strongly criticized by international organizations like Amnesty International.
