Please, check if the passage below is grammatically correct. Thanks!

Finally, Erdogan was confronted with most of the old elites in Turkey – the academic elite, the judicial elite and of course – the Turkish media which considered him a danger for Turkey's secularity and as a matter of fact – for the Turkish state as a whole, since, according to their perception, the state had to be secular, democratic and pro-Western.
