Alar Karis vs Necmettin Erbakan

Karis was appointed Director of the Estonian National Museum, where he oversaw the development of the museum's new building and exhibitions. His leadership helped modernize the museum and promote Estonian cultural heritage.

Karis was appointed Auditor General, responsible for overseeing the use of public funds. He served in this role until 2018, ensuring transparency and accountability in government spending.

Karis was elected as the sixth President of Estonia, succeeding Kersti Kaljulaid. His presidency focuses on social cohesion, digitalization, and environmental sustainability, building on Estonia's reputation as a digital leader.

As president, Karis addressed the nation during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the importance of vaccination and public health measures. He supported the government's response while advocating for balanced policies.

Karis launched initiatives to promote environmental sustainability, including support for renewable energy and biodiversity conservation. He called for greater action on climate change and sustainable development in Estonia.

Necmettin Erbakan founded the National Order Party (MNP) in 1970, Turkey's first explicitly Islamist political party. The party was banned by the Constitutional Court in 1971 for violating secularism, but it laid the groundwork for future Islamist movements.

Erbakan became Prime Minister on June 28, 1996, leading a coalition government with the True Path Party. He was the first Islamist prime minister in Turkey's secular history. His tenure lasted one year before being forced out by the military.

On February 28, 1997, the Turkish military issued a memorandum demanding Erbakan's government curb Islamist activities. Facing pressure, Erbakan resigned on June 18, 1997. This event is known as the 'post-modern coup' and ended his premiership.

In 1998, the Constitutional Court banned Erbakan from politics for five years for violating secularism laws. His Welfare Party was also dissolved. This effectively ended his direct political career, though he remained influential behind the scenes.
