Aug. 28, 2007 : The first president with an Islamist background to be elected in Turkey since the creation of the Turkish Republic in 1923 was sworn into office on this day. His election came amid concerns that his religious background would influence his politics disrupting Turkey’s strongly secular government

What was his name? What does Ismlamic background mean? How he his rule affected Islamic policies of Turkey?
