Turkey’s prime minister appointed to form interim government ahead of election

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ordered new elections on Monday after weeks of talks on forming a coalition government failed.

The popular issue nowadays in the political backstage is whether the AKP would invite the HDP into the interim government, in which the CHP and MHP refused to take part.

This is the first time parties in Turkey have failed to put together a coalition government following an election.

The Turkish president has long pressed for plans to make changes to the country’s constitution in an attempt to grant executive powers to the president.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, from the Islamic-rooted AKP, has already announced he was unable to form a new government and his mandate formally expired on Sunday.

“We do not have delegates, we have brothers of the cause, and the cause cannot be bought or sold”, stated Bahçeli moments after Prime Minister Davutoğlu said he would offer cabinet posts to their deputies even if party leaders objected. The reason behind the defeat of the well-to-do party of Turkey was the emergence of the People’s Democratic Party (HDP), a party with novel centre-left motives with Kurds as its representatives, which form major percentage of the Turkish population.

“If an early election is held in November, Parliament will consist of four parties”, he stated.

Opponents have accused Erdogan of escalating the conflict against the PKK in a bid to win nationalists’ support and discredit the pro-Kurdish party, whose gains in the June election deprived the ruling party of its majority.

He is expected to be appointed to head an interim government to carry the country over to elections.

Erdogan needs to make the feeling that Turkey cannot make due without him, Kilicdaroglu said on Friday, taking note of that the president tries to fulfill his sense of self by method for crisp surveys.

So far, over 60 security service members lost their lives, while the government said hundreds of PKK militants were killed in land and air campaigns conducted by the military inside Turkey and across Iraq’s mountainous northern area.
