ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explores the competing centres that attempts to shape the central value system of modern and contemporary Turkey. It embeds a view of the postsecular as a specific content of the central value system of this new, emerging democratic pluralistic centre a view focused mainly on the symbolic dimension, on the symbols that express such a panorama perpetually in transformation. The destinies of Turkey and Europe are strictly related to one another. As Joost Lagendijk summarizes, in the first two years of AK Party government, namely in 2003 and 2004, the party surprised many in Turkey and the EU. The book focuses on the village of Habap, or Havav, in Armenia, in Eastern Turkey. There were also watermills in Habap, and two fountains, one for each neighbourhood.
