Old governments are brought down with lies and deceit, new governments are formed. All the bourgeois parties, and even renown fascist parties and generals of the junta, tried to practice politics as apostles of democracy. The junta of September 12, claiming to bring democracy on the right track again, in fact aimed at liquidating the revolutionary movement and the opposition forces for which it used almost all Islamic structures. It was not forgotten to support them economically and politically to integrate them into the system. Islamic forces occupied almost all posts in the state apparatus and the system.
Religion is an important force in Turkey.
The state wanted to exploit religion to secure its future and for the benefit of profit. The state could not use religion as it pleased with its bureaucratic cadres. Religion as a power of sustenance has always been under the influence of the sheikhs and sectarian leaders. Therefore all the politicians, including Mustafa Kemal and the army, tried to get this power in their hands by several manoeuvres. The continuing support by the system parties and the army and the discussions about religion in politics gave the religious forces the impression that it was possible to gain power within the system in a cunning way.
