YEREVAN, AUGUST 27, ARMENPRESS. Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu has sent out invitations to 11 parliamentarians from CHP, MHP and HDP, offering them posts in the prospective interim government

The prime minister sent out invitations to five Members of Parliament from the Republican People’s Party (CHP) and three parliamentarians each from the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), the sources said.

“Armenpress” reports, citing “Anadolu” news agency, that Davutoğlu has 5 days to form an interim government.

A fresh general election in Turkey will be held on November 1, nearly five months after an inconclusive election saw no party win an overall majority. The announcement came after Erdogan called a snap general election on Monday.

Since the June 7 election, which saw the Justice and Development (AK) Party lose its majority and the HDP enter parliament for the first time, Turkey has faced a renewed Kurdish insurgency, threats from Daesh and a plummeting Turkish lira.

The current AK Party cabinet will continue to work until the formation of the interim government.

There are 26 cabinet portfolios up for grabs in the caretaker set up, out of which there is one slot for the prime minister and three slots for the Justice Ministry, Interior Ministry and Transport Ministry that are expected to be filled by three independent candidates; 11 ministries are expected to be taken by the AK Party, five by CHP, three by HDP and three by MHP.
