True, true. Unless secular middling sorts truly see an imminent advent of sharia, mandatory hijab, state-issued fatwas against writers, what have you, would it not make more sense for them to wear out their shoe heels, trying to beat the AKP at its own electoral game, than line up behind fearsome ultra-nationalists?
