Despite his efforts, Ahmed Davutoglu said that discussions on forming a coalition government between the AKP – the current ruling party – and the Social Democratic Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Party (MHP) – the second and third strongest parties in parliament, were unsuccessful. Although Prime Minister Davutoglu did not fulfill his mission, President Recep still thanked him for his efforts.

It is known that in the election on June 7, the AKP party - the ruling party since 2002 until now - did not win a majority of seats in the parliament and could not form a government. Therefore, the Turkish parliament is at risk of dissolution and having to hold early elections if it cannot form a government by August 23. And if the above scenario occurs, Anatolia news agency said, new elections will be held this November.
