Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) head Devlet Bahçeli has slammed the Justice and Development Party's (AKP) close relations with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in northern Iraq, comparing KRG President Masoud Barzani to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

A new charter is what Turkey needs, not an "elected despot," the leader of Turkey's Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), Devlet Bahçeli, has said, warning against shifting to a presidential system.
