Summary/Abstract: The great victory of the Egyptian popular revolt, which has ended the Hosni Mubarak era, is that it favours early political modernization in the Arab state. There are specialists in Middle East political issues who believe that Egypt will develop a democratic model similar to contemporary Turkey .From a doctrinal point of view, the Turkish democracy is considered by some experts in political science as a model that has certain common points with Christian-European democracy. But, there are many authors who would argue the existence of an analogy between Islamic democracy and Christian democracy. The democratic states are concerned that Egypt will become a state with a functional democracy and will have an important contribution to Middle East stability.
