By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:

The friendship with president is the most important thing, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said May 5.

He made the remarks at the press conference, Turkish TRT Haber news channel reported.

Davutoglu said that political views are more important than the position of the prime minister.

He noted that Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party is a guarantee of stability in Turkey and in the entire region.

The prime minister added that the extraordinary congress of the ruling party to elect the new chairman will be held on May 22.

Earlier, Burhan Kuzu, head of the Turkish parliament's Constitutional Commission, said that the extraordinary congress of the ruling party to elect the new chairman will be held in the next two weeks.

He said that there are some disagreements between Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.

Kuzu didn't specify the reason, but noted that disagreements are quite normal in a country with a parliamentary system of governance and a strong president.
