Turkey’s AK Party confirms Davutoglu to relinquish mandate to form new government

If Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan decides to call for an early election in Turkey, the country will go to polls in late October, the daily said.

The video depicts a Turkish terrorists seated between two armed militants, calling on Turkish Muslims to rebel against the government in Ankara, reports Efe.

Demirtas is quoted by Hürriyet as saying that his party would be happy to meet and discuss a possible coalition with the CHP if it is given the opportunity to form a cabinet.

Since then, the four parties represented in the parliament – AK Party, Republican People’s Party (CHP), Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) – have been searching for a coalition agreement.

Davutoglu had been trying to find a junior coalition partner since his AK Party lost its parliamentary majority in an election in June, leaving it unable to govern alone for the first time since it came to power in 2002.

With all possibilities exhausted before a August 23 deadline to form the new government, Turkey is now facing snap new polls and uncharted political territory.

Erdoğan, who won Turkey’s first popular presidential election in August 2014 and has since stretched the powers of a largely ceremonial post to their limits, has said the system of power has changed in Turkey.

“The current policy of Erdogan is not directed toward security, stability, peace and reconciliation in Turkey, but focused on the war and escalation”, he said.

According to CUMHURIYET, the Turkish lira is about to hit 3 against the dollar.

Worries created by the failure of negotiations for a political coalition were compounded by the ISIS video threat aimed at Mr Erdogan and his cohorts.

Mr Erdogan’s government decided to move more forcefully against ISIS last month after a suicide bombing in the south-eastern district of Suruc that killed at least 34 people.

Turkey’s decision to take a more forceful role against Islamic State was a significant shift for the country, which has long been accused of turning a blind eye to, if not actively supporting the militants operating along its 500-mile frontier with Syria.

Turkey, a member of the 62-nation coalition against ISIL, shares a 550-mile southern border with Syria, where the terrorist group has seized large areas over the past three years. You will make the choice.
