Timetable of general elections which will be held on November 1st has been announced.

AKP ignored election results: CHP deputy

The Justice and Development Party (AKP) has ignored the results of the June 7 election and Turkey, for first time in its political history, will go to early elections because parties failed to form a government, Republican People’s Party (CHP) deputy chairman Haluk Koç said on Aug. 25
Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli has said he is confident that none of his party’s deputies will accept being a part of an interim pre-election cabinet headed by the Justice and Development Party (AKP), speaking at a press conference in Ankara on Aug. 25
The Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) will be part of the election government, HDP spokesperson Ayhan Bilgen has said, a reiteration of the party’s willingness after negotiations failed to form a coalition government during the 45-day legal period after the parliamentary election in early June

Mourners slam Erdoğan, Turkish gov’t at funeral ceremonies for slain soldiers

A lieutenant colonel’s angry rebuke during the funeral ceremony for his soldier brother has been added to the increasing number of protests by mourners accusing President Erdoğan and the government over the spike in violence ahead of early elections in Turkey.
With the Black Sea province of Artvin suffering floods after disastrous rain and landslides that killed eight people, experts believe the many hydroelectric power plants being constructed in the area and clogged culverts triggered the deadly phenomenon

passengers1The ongoing European Migrant Crisis sees death tolls rise as refugees take expensive and often extremely-dangerous trips with smugglers, often to be displaced again or even arrested when they arrive.

Hungary’s migrant fence is simply a pointless PR exercise | Patrick Kingsley

Short-term measures like walls and fences in Europe won’t solve a migration crisis of this size. People who have risked so much will just find another wayWhen there is a will to migrate, there is often a wall to stop it. After increasing numbers of migrants tried to breach Spain’s enclaves in northern Africa in the 90s, the Spanish built a fence to block their path. Last year Bulgaria built another on its border with Turkey. And this summer, Hungary has followed suit – starting work on a fence that will supposedly separate it from Serbia, its southern neighbour.
