Erbakan saw in the young football fanatic an ambitious orator of considerable charm, especially for the estimated 60% of the population under 35. "I have been watching Tayyip Bey for some time," says Aslihan Dede, 21, using a term of respect. "He is one of us." Elected mayor of Istanbul in 1994, Erdogan banned drinking from city-owned caf?s, but also resurrected a failing...
