Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli has downplayed a meeting of six opposition parties at the weekend held to shape a road map for a "strengthened parliamentary system."

The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has reiterated its loyalty to the People's Alliance with the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) as well as the executive-presidential system, its leader Devlet Bahçeli has said, underlining once again that the elections will take place as scheduled in June 2023.

The economic problems Turkey is suffering from are not unsolvable but require unity and solidarity of all people, the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader has said, calling on companies and private businesses to reduce the prices of basic goods by 2 to 5 percent.

Leader of one of the major political parties in Turkey on Nov. 2 criticized the U.S. for its shift in attitude following Ankara's purchase of the Russian S-400 missile system, which he said is necessary for the country's defense and sovereignty.
