for an army officer killed in a car accident, at the Kocatepe Mosque in Ankara,
Thursday, 5/3/07. The Turkish parliament approved July 22 as the date for early
general election, which were called to resolve a government crisis over sharply
rising tension between the pro-secular military and the Islamic-rooted government.

might intervene, reaffirmed its willingness to act as the 'absolute defender of secularism.'
