(MENAFN- QNA) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday officially tasked Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to form a government, paving the way for arduous coalition talks to begin, Erdogan's spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said.
Davutoglu now has 45 days in which to form a government. New elections are called if no government is formed within that time.
He said earlier that he would begin coalition-building talks with the three parties' leaders next week. Davutoglu's party won Turkey's June 7 general election but lost its parliamentary majority.
