Turkey's first Islamist prime minister, Necmettin Erbakan, has died at the age of 85, one of his aides has said.
Mr Erbakan served only a year as prime minister before he was forced to stand down in 1997 by Turkey's staunchly secular military.
His Islamist Welfare Party was banned in 1998, while Mr Erbakan was barred from politics for five years for violating the constitution.
The governing AK Party, which has Islamist roots, grew out of Welfare.
