Turkey’s Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan waves after addressing the media at the AK Party headquarters in Ankara July 30, 2008. Erdogan said on Wednesday a Constitutional Court ruling not to ban the governing AK Party removed uncertainty the European Union-applicant country was facing. In his first remarks since the court ruling, Erdogan said Turkey had suffered a serious loss of time and energy due to the case but that his party would continue to uphold the country’s secular values.
