Repeatedly rebuffed by the European Union because of its corrupt, chaotic and unstable internal affairs, Turkey's "modernist revolution," created by Kemal Ataturk and his successors, has failed to create a cohesive state .. Instead it has increasingly divided the people of this once proud empire ..
