Özet: In the last few years, after terrorist events around the world, there are many debates on a global level about laïcité and democracy in France. Actually, the debates about laïcité provide a particular focus to the wider question of the place of Islam within French society as the analysis of different issues especially after the 9/11 and the terrorist attack in 2015 to the magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris will demonstrate us. On the other hand, we have the case of a state like Turkey, which is very different from the Hexagon but where the definition of secularism during the process of the foundation of the nation-state in Turkey resembles the inclusive French model. However, it is noticable that, for around 15 years, things have changed. In this paper, the question of what “New Turkey” is will be responded and the endless debates on secularism and laïcité in these two countries will be elaborated.
