About this Quote

This quote by Abdullah Gul highlights the importance of democracy beyond simply elections. Democracy is not just about the right to vote, however also about the protection of human rights, the rule of law, and the separation of powers. Human rights are essential to democracy, as they guarantee that all residents are dealt with similarly and relatively. The rule of law is also vital, as it ensures that laws are applied similarly and fairly to all residents. Lastly, the separation of powers is important, as it avoids any one branch of federal government from becoming too effective. All of these components are essential for a working democracy, and without them, democracy can not exist. Abdullah Gul's quote works as a suggestion that democracy is more than simply elections, which it needs a strong structure of human rights, the guideline of law, and the separation of powers.
