The AK Party government managed to overcome social cleavages of turkey which is rooted in history and draw various social and political current's attention via dramatic changes in domestic and foreign policy of Turkey and increase the number of fans in the national and local elections. But, since late 2000s the AK party could become stable and capture the centers of power "Period of Authoritarianism" of the party started in Turkey which resulted in severe changes in its policies. Leaving inter-party democracy behind, measured elimination of Erdogan's opponents from the party's leadership, efforts for changing people's lifestyles and adopting a religious young generation and neglecting "Zero problems with Neighbors" policy are of the changes in the period.
In this paper, we investigate the face off of Justice and Development Party from an inclusive party to an authoritarian personalistic one and will answer this question: What are the results of authoritarian goverance of AK Party for Turkish society and its impact in reviving social cleavages in the country?
