Another election has now been left behind. Under the shadow of many illegal and immoral operations and efforts to mold democratic politics through political engineering, the Turkish people have made their choice. The AK party has emerged with an overwhelming victory.

The public remains dedicated to keeping hold of the democratic will of the nation despite the imposed anti-democratic constitutional arrangements of the past 100 years.

Undoubtedly, some elements of the Western media perceived the March 30, 2014 elections through this lens. However others have chosen to emphasize a different perception. Journalists who reside in the Kadıköy, Cihangir, Şişli and Beşiktaş neighborhoods of Istanbul have published articles under the psychological influence and narrow perspective of these areas.

There is a problem at hand that needs to be considered.

There are elements of society that, simply due to their own Western lifestyle, feel they are entitled to govern the country and force political hegemony. Their antiliberal and anti-democratic attitudes are not perceived to be a problem. These elements of society remained silent for 90 years as interference in the lifestyle, identity and similar freedoms of others were rife. They viewed efforts to enable everyone to be equal in front of the law as an intervention on their lifestyles.

As well as being an ontological reaction and because of a "joint lifestyle" with the West, the elements of society that support exclusionist/exploitative political regimes, can be more desirable to Western actors. As a result, under the pretense of modernity, the West acts as a supervisor for these "problem" segments of society within Islamic geographies.

This mentality lends itself to meddling with structures in the region. For example, it completely overlooks Turkey's corporate culture and the democracy that is being developed. The self-orientalist segments contribute to the view that, including the judiciary, Turkey is under authoritarian leadership completely ignoring the 100-year long struggle for democracy given by the people.

An orientalist mentality is reinventing itself.

As a result the factions and reasons for the political struggle within Turkey can be overlooked. The Western public is presented with a misinformed picture of the situation. It is not realistic to expect this to change any time soon as this does reflect an educated choice. However, is it not realistic to reduce the West to simply these actors.

The fact of the matter is that these groundbreaking elections reveal how the exclusionist and inflexible centralist constitution is under serious threat. The Gülen Movement built its political philosophy on the old order of Turkey. Therefore it is not surprising that the Gülen Movement resorted to "Junta-ism" and unofficial tactics.

The March 30, 2014 elections should be understood through this paradigm. It is evident when analyzing the opposing sides in this election. This election is the death knell of the old system. Thus, it is unavoidable that a democratic constitutional process and deep-rooted structural reforms will soon come about.
