What is your opinion of the banned "Refah Partisi" "Welfare Party"?

[Luca]

I just read a bit about politics and sharia in turkey and stumbled upon this article from wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_Party
https://web.archive.org/web/20171204.../Welfare_Party (alternative archived link, if wikipedia is blocked/it got changed over time)

So I wonder a lot about how this party is seen in turkey and what is your attitude to it?
Also, was the military intervention in 1997 justified?

Ben bir tek bu makale wikipedia'da okuyordum, ve bu siyasetle türkiye'de ilgile. Olabilir siz "Refah Partisi" biliyorsunuz ve siz türk insanlar, çünku bilmek istiyorum siz bu konu hakkında ne düşünüyorsunuz?

AKP originated in that party but they changed their "shirts" later to become the ruling party. I don't think it was because of sharia it was because Necmettin Erbakan was doing some good things for his people and country. It was a coup so not really something democratic.

Refah Party continues as Saadet Party today which is not still a competent with AKP being a central party with more luck than them.
