Failure to form a coalition government in Turkey doesn't mean that there will be political chaos, board member of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) of Turkey, MP Mazhar Bagli said in an exclusive interview with Trend August 13.
Turkey has a democratic society and failure to form the government will not lead to risks in the country, according to Bagli.
