Turkey rapidly moving toward elections, President Erdoğan says

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Wednesday that Turkey is rapidly moving toward an election and that only the will of the people can resolve the current political deadlock at the ballot box.

Addressing local headmen from throughout the country, the Turkish President said that he does not think it is possible for those who are obsessed about Erdoğan and his family to provide a solution to the issues of the nation. "We have no time to spend for those who do not even know the address of Beştepe" –where the Presidential Palace is located in- he said.

President Erdoğan is expected to consult with Parliament speaker İsmet Yılmaz on formation of new government late Wednesday, according to sources.

After weeks of talks with opposition, where parties failed to produce a coalition, interim prime minister and the chairman of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), Ahmet Davutoğlu, returned the mandate to form the next government to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Tuesday evening.
