Turkey's controversial Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul has been sworn in as the country's new president.

I'm sorry to see that this happened. Turkey was my most respected muslim country. It was a muslim country that back in 1925 divided religion and politics. Atta Turk. The creator of Turkey as we know now. The man who gave Turkey it's name. A country that forbids females to were a headscarf in Universities and other federal places. A shame that this will go back into history. I'm sure that somebody who's pretty extremist like Abdullah Gul, that he will start the issue with the Kurds once more. Proclaiming them as non-Turks. And I'm pretty sure, that Turkey's way into the EU will have more way back than forward.
