The case of Menzil Cemaati in term of religion-state relationship

From the Ottoman Empire to today's Turkey, there has been an interaction between political powers and religious groups in almost every period in the direction of mutual interests. In some periods religious groups affected the political authority, but in some periods political powers affected the religious groups in their own interests. Along with the multi-party alliance, the religious groups in Turkey started to increase their presence in the social area, especially in the field of bureaucracy. When we look at today's Turkey, it is seen that some religious groups try to influence political power. The focus of this study is to examine the daily impact of the Naqshbandi cult one of the religious groups in Turkey, on the religious-state relationship.
