I think it still has potential but Edrogen's dictatorship and the AKP are rapidly eroding some of those ideas. There are two Turkeys, the cosmopolitan cities and the rural country (from which AKP hails from). In order to maintain power, Islam is being used to promote national identity and ethnocentrism. It is also being heavily taught in schools.

Probably the best summary is a kletocratic state that leans Islamic and authoritarian, but never is completely Islamic or authoritarian.
