5:02 pm
of turkey's citizens. if we have fought for one cause in the past 13 years it was the will of the nation. they tried to influence the government by intimidating us, but we'll always continue to fight for the will of the nation and we will continue to do so. >> let's talk to omar now because he is at the main chp headquarters in istanbul. we've been hear from the hdp. they said that this puts an end to the system in turkey. they said they don't want to be in coalition with the ak participate. this is not the result that the chp was hoping for but what are you hearing from party officials over there? >> well, they're able to form a
5:03 pm
single party government. they are very optimistic that if all of the parties in turkey keep their promises they made during which they say they will not join the ruling act party for any coalition it will be the chp who will be able to form that because the first party couldn't form a government. i think it's a wild chance for them but it is a possibility. so they are putting a result on that in this regard. in terms of their own result, they really didn't do that in the last election. they want more or less 25% of the general vote. >> so they didn't do as well as they were hoping for omar. why was that? why was the chp not able to really capitalize the discontent with the ruling party and produce a better result?
5:04 pm
>> well, that's because of a number of religious. the chp has not won an election to enable us to rule this country on its own for the last 65 years. now the leaders of the parties realize that big problem. so for the first time during this election they did put an impressive campaign. they were focusing more on the economy, putting plans--solid plans to lead turkey. however, the results suggest that the plans did not resonate with the power, not only with their power because the chp is you had widely widely seen as a secular party that did not go really well in with the conservative muslim in this country. >> omar, thank you very much,
5:05 pm
indeed. at the main chp party headquarters in istanbul. let's go to the akp headquarters in ankara. jamal, the ak party a very significant election for him. the message coming from ankara is that they didn't have the support for rallying? >> it is the people's will that should be respected. they should respect whatever the outcome. even though the outcome is not
5:06 pm
what they would have hoped for. despite this they have several reasons to celebrate. the ak party is still the largest party including the chp. and the ak party has won albeit not the same margin they had hoped for. there is no identifying the fact that these results. >> thank you very much. jamal for us at the ruling ak party headquarters. leaders say they won't consider
5:07 pm
a coalition with the ak party and as a result puts an end to the discussion of any presidential system. >> at this point the argument of the presidential system in turkey a system of dictatorship comes to an end. this is a huge victory. millions have voted. this result is not because of a conspiracy from now on we will stand up for the people of turkey. all of our efforts will be for the happiness and freedom for the people of turkey. >> bernard smith has more now. >> so a huge political campbell led that had a paid off. a 10% show of the vote needed to get representation in the turkish parliament. that means for the first time in the history of turkey, a pro turkish party has representation at the national level in a turkish party. and hdp managed to do this by
5:08 pm
broadening their support base. this is a party that essentially ally to an outlawed turkey separatist organization the pkk. a terrorist organization considered by the u.s. and europe european union. now with representation, it says it will be able to push forward and one of the biggest challenges faced by the turkish government. >> we've been hearing from the turkish prime minister. people rallying around party officials. what is the message from the party and it's leaders? >> basically the ruling justice
5:09 pm
department tried to protect an image of confidence in a very bad light for president erdogan and the ruling party. we saw that the prime minister blamed the defeat on conspiracy, on international conspires on domestic opponents on the media. same narrative has been played again and again by the ruling party. >> we're likely to see a coalition government now being formed in turkey. how do you see those discussions materializing? does it look like the chp will be trying to rule out the other parties request. >> i think the pro secular republican people with the other opposition parties including the star of tonight's election of
5:10 pm
today's election. i think it's such a coalition that looks unlikely. and it looks extremely volatile. >> what we looking at? will they be going to the ballots pretty soon? >> if the likely candidate to set up the next government the current prime minister is not able to do so within 45 days, then a new election will be--must be called. i suspect there will be early elections in turkey because the ruling party has been governing on its own for at least 13 years, and i'm not sure that they have the ability to establish coalitions in turkey. >> just to be clear about this, you don't anticipate that the ak party will make any attempt to form governments with the opposition party that we're
5:11 pm
likely to see announcements fairly quickly? >> i think that any coalition if it's established might be--it will be extremely volatile will be extremely turbulent, and suspect that it will see early elections in turkey. >> the fact that this election was seen in many ways itself as a referendum on the ak party's own performance, but as president erdogan's move towards a presidential system. we know that the ak party wanted to push through changes to the constitution. is that not now going to happen? or will they try to resurrect those assets in some way? >> it's president erdogan's ambitions for a particular type
