Erdogan has come a long way to shape Turkey in his own image. In 1999, he was jailed for four months and forced to resign as Istanbul’s mayor after a court sentenced him to prison for reciting a poem with Islamic references. Erdogan would form the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi; AKP) after his Virtue Party was banned in 2001 on the grounds of engaging in antisecular activities.
