Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday called for the
swift formation of a new coalition government, ending almost four days
of unusual silence after legislative polls seen as a blow to his
authority.
Erdogan's comments added weight to expectations of a coalition government in Turkey after the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) he co-founded lost its majority in Sunday's dramatic polls.
"Everyone should put their egos aside and a government must be formed as soon as possible, within the constitutional process," Erdogan said in his first public comments since Sunday's vote.
In a message to investors rattled by the political uncertainty, Erdogan insisted that the election result "certainly does not mean Turkey will remain without a government."
