Photojournalist Kaylan explains the impact of Turkey's secular reforms in the 1920s and 1930s, imposed on a defeated, backward nation ruled for centuries by Shariah, Islam's version of canon law. He also explains how, though political irresponsibility and greed, the nation's clock was later turned back and points out the multitude of potential danger signs caused by a militant Islamic reactionary movement.
