Based on the headscarf conflict in Turkey, this thesis tries to determine whether the current governing party, the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi--AKP), as argued by the Turkish secularists, is an Islamist party following a hidden Islamic agenda or has become moderate with time. The secularists' fear of an AKP Islamic agenda not only has roots in the fact that since the establishment of the secular Turkish Republic in 1923, Abdullah Gul is the first politician with an Islamist background to become the president of Turkey but also that Gul's wife, Hayrunisa Gul, is wearing the headscarf. Secularists interpret this as meaning that Gul would change Turkey's constitutional laws to make Turkey become an Islamic country. However, this thesis asserts that the present AKP, when compared to its first years of governing, seems to pursue its agenda in a more pragmatic manner due to dynamic factors.
