Özet
The popular movements known as the “Arab Spring” began in 2011 when a street vendor burned himself in Tunisia, and quickly affected the entire Middle East and North Africa region, targeting oppressive regimes in power. This process, which affected the Arab world in waves with the escape of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia, the trial of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, and the assassination of Gaddafi by his own people in Libya, has left regional states facing new uncertainties. In Tunisia, where the Arab Spring began, constituent assembly elections were held on October 23, 2011. These elections took their place in history as the first free and fair elections among the countries that experienced the Arab Spring. After the elections, the new constitution was completed by the Constitutional Commission, and a new prime minister and president were elected. This situation became an example among the Middle Eastern and North African countries that experienced the Arab Spring; it showed that Tunisia has a higher democratic culture than other countries. In this context, the reason why the Arab Spring, which caused the Islamic geography to sink into the swamp of terror, the Egyptian State to survive with a dictatorial regime, states such as Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Libya to be dragged into civil war and even their existence to be debated, was successfully experienced in Tunisia is discussed in the article.
