They belonged to each other. He belonged to nobody. They were at peace with themselves and the System. He was at war with himself; and he couldn’t find happiness in the System.
In the West, secularism has meant complete separation of religion and the state. The Kemalist conception of secularism, however, has allowed for some measure of state control over religion. It was feared that total non-interference between religion and the state would, in fact, result in the interference of religion in governmental affairs, since Islam is perceived not only as a system of faith but also a system of law, a social and political ideology, and a total way of life.

The difficulties Russia encounters in defeating the myth of Stalin do not stem from a lack of knowledge about Stalin’s crimes, but rather from the fact that people do not regard the Soviet system as having been criminal.
The Russian people do not see any alternative to Putin’s authoritarian model because they simply do not know how the state could be ordered any differently. Russian society today lacks figures of recognized moral and intellectual authority who are capable of making this diagnosis.

The crisis was generated by the system itself.
International Law is not the law of solely one state but all of states. Therefore, what sanctions are available and by which means these sanctions are to be imposed on are controversial questions in the field of International Law. At one extreme there is the erroneous view that international law is a system without sanctions. It would be better to say that International Law has its own special type of sanctions which differ in nature from the ones existing in domestic systems of law.

What is the place of the rules of international law in the internal (domestic) laws of states? There are two basic theories on the relationship between international and domestic law. The first is called the "dualist" view; it assumes that international law and municipal law are two distinct and separate legal systems which exist independently of each other. This approach raises the question of whether one system is superior to the other.
The second theory is the "monist" view, which assumes that domestic (internal) and international law form part of a single legal order but tends to treat international law as superior.
The Turkish Constitution provides that international treaties duly put into effect are of equal status to laws (statutes). However, no claim of unconstitutionality of an international treaty can be heard by the Constitutional Court (Article 90/last para.) On the other hand, a constitutional amendment introduced in 2004 provided that in cases where the provisions of a treaty relating to the fundamental rights and freedoms are in conflict with domestic law, the international treaty will take precedence.
