The Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is urging all political parties to back the AKP’s plan to change the constitution despite its failure to win a majority in parliamentary elections. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had hopes with his party would still have enough support to meet the constitutional changes he wanted. But the AKP is still as the largest share of the vote, and Minister Davutoglu said everyone should acknowledged that it had won. Mark Lowen is in Istanbul.
“The party that long seen invincible1 here is, today, struggling to form a government. Criticized for its clampdown on free speech and its growing authoritarianism2, the AK party lost its majority in this election. The big winner was the Pro-Kurdish HDP party which stormed into parliament for the first time giving a big voice to the Kurds on the national stage. No party leader has so far said they would be willing to go into coalition3 with AKP, which could mean that it tries to form a shaky minority government.”
Leaders of the G7 group of industrialized countries were holding a second day of talks in Bavaria today with measures to tackle climate change and radical4 extremism as the main issues, more from our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins.

尽管正义与发展党未能在议会选举中获得绝对多数支持,土耳其总理达武特奥卢仍敦促各政党支持该党的修宪计划。总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安希望本党能获得足够多的支持来实现他希望的修宪。但正义与发展党在投票中获得的支持仍最多,总理达武特奥卢说每个人都应该承认该党已经获胜。马克·罗文在伊斯坦布尔报道。
“这个一直立于不败之地的政党今天却在组建政府上遇到困难,人们指责该党对言论自由进行压制且越发集权主义,因此正义与发展党在此次选举失掉绝对多数支持。投票的大赢家是亲库尔德的人民民主党,该党首次冲入议会,并在国家舞台上让库尔德人发出自己的声音。到目前为止没有哪位政党领袖声称将与正义与发展党组建联盟,这意味着该党要组建的是一个摇摇欲坠的少数派政府。”
