      "summary": "Turkey's year-long experiment with Islamist-led government ended in July, when a multi-party\nsecularist coalition headed by Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz took office for what is viewed as a\ntransition to early national elections sometime in 1998. The political situation is fluid. The\ngovernment is addressing some economic problems and redirecting Turkey's foreign policy back\ntoward the West and toward Turkic kin in Azerbaijan and Central Asia. There are problems in\nTurkey's relations with the European Union, with efforts to reach an international settlement on\nCyprus, and in Turkish-Greek ties. The Administration and Congress are continuing to focus on\nsecurity, democracy, and human rights in the U.S. dialogue with Ankara.",
