Quiz: name the country where this is happening

Here's a short quiz: 

A certain political party with strong ties to religious fundamentalism is seen as a threat to a certain country's secular tradition. The country's military sees its most crucial role as defending the separation of church and state. A presidential candidate is declared ineligible to run because he and his wife are fundamentalists; his candidacy is therefore considered a threat to the country's future.

Over a million people attended rallies this past Sunday in support of the separation of church and state.

Q: Where is this happening, right now?

A: Turkey.
