By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:

Prime Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu will meet with the leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Devlet Bahceli in order to form a coalition government, the Turkish news agency Anadolu said August 17.

Earlier, after a failed attempt to form a coalition government in Turkey between the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Republican People's Party (CHP), Bahceli announced that he is ready to agree to form a coalition government if the AKP accepts the terms of the nationalist movement.

The main condition of MHP is that the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan wouldn't interfere in the politics of the country as a whole.

The final meeting of Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu with the head of the opposition Republican People's Party Kemal Kilicdaroglu took place today, on Aug.13, in Turkey.

The opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Justice and Development Party (AKP) failed to agree on the formation of a coalition government.

Then Turkish prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that early parliamentary election will be held in Turkey.

Turkey held parliamentary election June 7, which involved 20 political parties. Over 53 million people cast their votes in the election.

During the parliamentary election, Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party garnered 40.9 percent of the vote, while the Republican People's Party (CHP) gained 25 percent; aside from that the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) got 16.3 percent, and the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) garnered 13.1 percent of the vote.
