Turkey faces autumn election after coalition talks fail
Turkey faces a snap election this autumn after talks on forming a coalition government broke down on Thursday, increasing uncertainty in the NATO member state as it battles Islamic State insurgents on its borders and Kurdish militants at home.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said a fresh election now appeared to be the only option after last-ditch negotiations between his Islamist-rooted AK Party and the main opposition CHP yielded no deal. He urged parliament to call for a new vote and said he would prefer it was held as soon as possible.
