Over the decades, the Turkish military has regarded itself and been known as a "guardian of Ataturkism (or Kemalism)," a kind of national principle of Turkey, and it has made the military one of the most significant political powers in Turkish politics. In recent years, however, the democratization reforms implemented under the process of the EU accession reinforce the civilianization in many institutions, and possibly diminish the military's interests and authority as the guardian; but at the same time, it can also contribute to the Turkey's full membership of the EU, which has long been a goal of Ataturkist project of the country's modernization. Here we can see an important dilemma of the Turkish military, which, as a subject of modernization, had hoped to join the EU but is an object of this process now. This article examines how the military decides and maintains its supportive attitude toward the reforms and the EU accession in such dilemmatic circumstances, by focusing on the concept of modernization in Ataturkism and the hierarchical system of the officer corps. Moreover, it also analyzes the mass support to the Turkish government which achieved economic growth and implemented the democratization reforms, and the democratic values which seem to have taken root in Turkish nation. In the end, it will be shown that the military's choice to accept the reforms and support the accession has been the sole option because of the absence of alternatives under the national/international situations and the military's own historical image as the Western-oriented Ataturkist.
