Leader of the pro-Kurdish Democratic Party of Peoples, Selahattin Demirtas, expressed readiness to participate in negotiations on the establishment of a coalition on the condition that Prime Minister of Turkey Ahmet Davutoglu abandons the mandate on the formation of a new government in favor of a representative of the Republican People's Party.
"Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu should urgently abandon his authority on the formation of a cabinet. If the (presidential) mandate to form a government will be transferred to the Republican People's Party, we will express our views and we will not avoid responsibility. If the Republican People's Party would want it, we will hold negotiations," TASS quotes him as saying.
The politician added that "it is expected that the President will give the authority to form a cabinet to the second largest party," that is, the Republican People's Party.
