For the past eight years, a power struggle has been waged in Turkey between the secular establishment - backed by the military - and the ruling Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP), led by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. But although tension has always existed between the two sides, an uneasy truce has kept it in check - until now.
