People's Party

Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) co-chair Figen Yüksekda? has said her party has not closed the door on coalition talks with the Justice and Development Party (AKP), but that the AKP does not want to form a coalition with the HDP.

All the representatives of the political parties said the day after the election that they "got the message of the people."

When they said so, this is what we understood:

They are open to compromise to form a government. They can form a government by agreeing among each other. That way, Turkey will leave behind a long period of tension and contention.

A grand coalition between the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Republican People's Party (CHP) is unlikely, CHP head Kemal K?l?çdaro?lu has said. 

"I regard the possibility for AKP-CHP government as low," he said. 

The members of the Parliament Spokespersons Board from the three oppositional parties have refused to pay a courtesy visit to President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an because it would take place at the controversial presidential palace, daily Hürriyet reported July 12. 

An investigation has been launched into a street march held by police officers who reportedly chanted discriminating slogans following an operation in which hundreds of anti-riot police officers raided several Roma neighborhoods in the northwestern province of Edirne.

The Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Kemal K?l?çdaro?lu has said that he may not be deputy prime minister if his party agreed to form a coalition government with the Justice and Development Party (AKP).

The grassroots of the Republican People's Party (CHP) are likely to green-light a coalition between the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the CHP, contrary to their stance immediately after the June 7 parliamentary elections in Turkey, CHP Istanbul provincial head Murat Karayalç?n told daily Hürriyet on July 10.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu has said he will start holding official coalition talks with Republican People's Party (CHP) head Kemal K?l?çdaro?lu on July 13. 

A plan to construct a refugee camp in the Çatalca district of Istanbul has drawn opposition from several civic organizations, as well as Çatalca Mayor Cem Kara, who said he did one want the tranquility of the peaceful district to be disrupted by a refugee camp, news website Radikal reported on July 10.

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan asked Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Thursday to form the country's new government, todayszaman.com reported.

The move comes more than a month after Turkey's parliamentary elections in which the Justice and Development Party (AKP) lost its overall majority and no party won enough seats to form a government.
