Prime minister

Turkish Parliamentary Speaker Cemil Çiçek has returned a Republican People’s Party (CHP) motion demanding a parliamentary inquiry into Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in relation to a wave of corruption probes.

BELGRADE - Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has said on Tuesday that it has been ascertained that the Pescanik website was attacked from two IP addresses, and underscored that the state had no part in the cyber attack.
The Pescanik website carries analyses and opinions by human rights activists, journalists, distinguished public figures, professionals and academicians.

With Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan set to declare his candidacy for the presidency, Deputy Prime Minister Beşir Atalay has suggested that the more urgent question facing the government was convincing President Abdullah Gül to lead the party in the run-up to parliamentary elections in 2015.

The presidential candidate of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) is almost obvious, but it might not be announced until June 15, Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç has said.

Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski is suing the head of the Social Democrats, SDSM, Zoran Zaev, for slander, demanding  half-a-million euro in compensation, Zaev's lawyer, Miroslav Vujic, said.

The first court hearing is scheduled for June 19.

Less than five ministers will be replaced, said Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski in parliament after his Government survived the fourth no confidence vote on Friday morning. 

He refused to say which ministers will be replaced, because he still hasn't discussed the matter with the coalition leaders Sergei Stanishev and Lyutvi Mestan. 

The main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) has filed a motion for a parliamentary inquiry into Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in relation to a wave of corruption probes that first went public on Dec. 17, 2013.

We are experiencing days when understanding “Turkish politics” does not require help from political science only, but also from the field of psychiatrics. Despite eight election victories in 12 years with, most likely, a ninth on the way, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is full of hatred, anger, nervousness, unhappiness and dissatisfaction. 

Prime Minister Victor Ponta on Monday sent President Traian Basescu a letter asking him to participate in the European Council meeting to take place in Brussels, political sources told Agerpres.

Bulgarian Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski is to meet Italian counterpart Matteo Renzi on May 22 after the event scheduled for May 22 was unexpectedly postponed.
