1:03 pm
always try to reduce the entire turkish politics to just one man. >> reporter: erdogan and the akp party hoped to change the victory to a presidential one. it appears that those plans are now on hold. >> but what is important right now is to revitalize the economy, to maintain political stability, deal with regional issues such as the war in syria, security threats in iraq, i.s.i.s. is i mentioned, the pkk terrorism. we have to deal with these issues immediately. >> just a few hours later, back to business as usual here at the akp party headquarters. the task at hand is to form a government and fill a political void that has destabilized the country for the past five months. jamal al shael, al jazeera, ankara. >> criticized media restrictions in the run up to the vote and

1:05 pm
in the parliament. that is almost double support claimed for chp which is heading for 134 seats. the nationalist mhp under 12% is heading for 41 seats as you see there. still above the 10% threshold to get into parliament with around 59 seats but not quite as much support as they got in the election in june. i'm joined for analysis by ibrahim dogus, center for turkish studies. thank you for coming in. >> thank you. >> how would you describe the results of the rmin election dim >> president erdogan, to assure he could very hard to go for an
1:06 pm
executive presidency. >> even though they managed to scrape through and enter parliament, showing that the hdp managed to enter parliament, didn't get quite as much support as they got in the last election in june. what could this election result mean for kurds? is there more uncertainty for them? >> i mean it will all depend on president erdogan and his so-called keeping the peace process in a statement. if he decides to go back to the process start talking to kurdish side after conflict, things will get better most probably for people in turkey. if he decides to stick with the ultranationalist stance, we'll have difficult years lady for kurdish people. >> the process for the pkk that is no longer, you know obviously that's not taking place anymore, would you isolate erdogan's
1:07 pm
decision-making around that from u.s. support for kurds in syria and the turkish crack down on the kurds in northern iraq? >> would be convinced that unless the peace process rebegins and osettlemen a settls reached, regional power having a strong relation over the neighbors will be diminished. it is quite likely that the peace process will be reintroduced maybe under a different branding but it will have to be reintroduced, government talk to pkk or hcp in this case, and come to some grounds of settlement again. >> what about the turkish
1:08 pm
relationship with the west? negotiations with the european union about stemming the flow of refugees into europe? >> president erdogan will play a constructive role in dealing with refugee crisis. as we all know, turkey has more than 2 million refugees. european union is expecting turkey to play a significant role in preventing refugees leaving turkey coming to western europe so european countries would be providing aid plus support that turkey needs and so on. for that i guess eu will restart some of the chapters. they may start the negotiation again with turkey which would be a huge boost to president erdogan and akp parties. the support given now will be continued because of their help on refugee crisis. of tension between amg part akpd
1:09 pm
the kurds when it comes to i.s.i.l. what could we now expect from erdogan on that particularly in terms of measures around the border with syria, to curb that sort of cross-border movements between the two countries? >> for president erdogan and turkish government the priority has always been toppling bashar al-assad's regime. but at the same time kurds are becoming a real reality in syria. they are running their only camp on which turkey is not happy about. but we should remember that governments in turkey before erdogan or before akp party were always anti-kurdish gains in iraqi kurdistan. red line about turkish government was against kurdistan anywhere in the world. only neighbor which is closely as i stated in alliance with
1:10 pm
turkish government. so i guess with the settlement of kurdish question within turkey then syrian kurds would become a reality for turkey that toicialg accepts and starts turkey accepts and starts supporting. once the peace process within turkey for pkk starts. >> thank you for laying it out so clearly. abraham doglesh. center for turkish studies. >> thank you very much. >> now russian airlines whose flight crashed in sinai, says technical issues are not to blame. plane broke up mid air but they still don't know why. peter sharp reports from st. petersburg. >> in the early hours of monday

1:36 pm
would have flagged up, you know red alarm bells ringing if there was a serious situation on the aircraft from a technical points of view. it looks as if -- assemble something as serious to cause an explosion wouldn't have gone undetected? >> if there was anything on board going wrong, the sensors would have detected that. if there was an imminent explosion it wouldn't have gotten to the cockpit, it would have just happened quickly. if the engines were getting to a very poor state for whatever reason then alarm bells would have rang but then it is likely that the flight crew would have sent a distress signal to the ground. from the report it doesn't look like that was the case. >> anul, thank you for that. flights across europe have been disrupted because of heavy
