Conservatism in Turkey tends to be inspired and strongly influenced by political Islam,[4] with conservative values arising from local orders, Islamic tarikats and village traditions.[5] Turkish conservatism therefore tends to be more socially conservative, religious and in favour of strong centralised leadership, therefore often being characterised as authoritarian by critics.[6] Turkish conservatives also tend to show greater approval to the return of Ottoman culture as opposed to the western-inspired culture and values originating from the Republic era.[7] List of conservative political parties in Turkey[edit]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9593.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9593.txt
