ABSTRACT
Social learning is an arena where the function of deliberation is limited to opinion formation with no clear link to decision-making, then the role of social learning in legitimate decision-making remains unclear. Benhabib's emphasis on enlarged mentality clearly points to the learning aspect of deliberation. Benhabib's sense, it is through resignification and renegotiation of core political values that the AKP has evolved to become a party embraced by a large section of the electorate. The unprecedented action of the MHP received a strong reaction from the press and most of the political parties, which unanimously branded the MHP's letter as a call for a military coup. The MHP accused the AKP of influencing the judiciary in order to secure release of members of the Kurdish Demokratik Emek Partisi (DEP) Democratic Labour Party, noting that the Foreign Affairs Minister, Abdullah Gl, had the audacity to meet with these convicted separatists.
