It could be argued that it is the logical end of Kamelism – and the modernising principlies therein.

My feeling is that Gul is a moderniser. If he becomes president, then the military will, theoretically, be under his command. But then, the coup of 1997 isn't so long ago...
Gul and his friends are worse than mollas, all they want is an islamic Turkey, they only pretend modernisers till they achieve their goals, if they are modernisers than i am Angelina Jollie...
How you doin Angelina?
He looks like Sloth from the Goonies
