President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli have clashed over which of them has actually displayed solidarity with the Muslim Uighur minority in China's northwestern Xinjiang region.

The two relative losers of the June 7 elections, Justice and Development Party (AKP) head Ahmet Davuto?lu and Republican People?s Party (CHP) head Kemal K?l?çdaro?lu, are clearly the leaders with the best post-election performance.

The German Free Democratic Party, which usually gets around 10 percent of the vote, has been in the federal government longer than any other party in Germany, as a junior partner in successive coalitions. 

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) head Devlet Bahçeli has presented three main conditions for the formation of a coalition government with the Justice and Development Party (AKP), with an emphasis on stopping the Kurdish peace process, further probing corruption and graft allegations against former AKP ministers and restricting the actions of President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an to within his constitu
