Baku, Azerbaijan, Sept. 17
By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:
Despite the great experience of democracy in Turkey, the country's political parties have no culture of coalition building, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in an interview with the Turkish TRT TV channel.
The president went on to add that as it's clear from the history of Turkey, unlike other states, coalitions created in the country didn't lead to anything good.
Turkey will hold the repeated parliamentary election on November 1.
Over 75 million people will participate in voting at the repeated parliamentary election in Turkey. Some 29 political parties will participate in the repeated parliamentary election.
On Aug. 13, a final meeting was held in Turkey between Davutoglu and the leader of the oppositional Republican People's Party (CHP) Kemal Kilicdaroglu.
During the talks, the parties failed to agree on creating a coalition government.
Afterwards the Turkish PM said his country will repeatedly hold parliamentary election.
Turkey held parliamentary election June 7, which involved 20 political parties. Over 53 million people cast their votes in the election.
The Justice and Development Party (AKP) won the election, but lost the parliamentary majority and couldn't form a government alone for the first time since 2002. The Turkish president instructed the AKP leader and current prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu to form the cabinet of ministers July 9. The prime minister held talks with leaders of the three parliamentary parties, but couldn't reach an agreement.
