AB The aim of this article is to analyse the efforts of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) to reinforce Islam within the Turkish Cypriot community, especially in the period 2009-2017. The article focuses on the changes recorded in Turkey on the basis of an ideological transformation and the policies that promote these changes in Cyprus, as well as on the reactions to these changes in the period under study. One of the key dimensions of the article is the recording of the deviation of part of the Turkish Cypriot community from the Turkish-Islamic paradigm. The Turkish Cypriot deviation signals the political efforts of the Turkish Cypriots to preserve the Cypriot identity of their community, a key feature of which is secularism.
