Building divisions - Istanbul

Preface

It's 70 years since the death of Atatuerk, founder of the Turkish Republic. But the fate of the Atatuerk Cultural Centre has hung in the balance until recently, coming to symbolise the struggle between the secular state and the governing Islamist AK party. Then on page 40, we look at Atatuerk's role in modern Turkey.
