the secular opposition, the chp are hole party positions as will the right-wing party. so we're likely to have a fractious party. they are all opposed on many policies there is likely not much they will be able to agree upon. a time when turkey might need a stable government. >> we have been talking to a specialist on international affairs. thanks for coming into the studio. perhaps you can explain a little bit more. the president was not keen -- is not keen on a coalition government. he was very, very much unhappy with the election results that took place on the 7th o june. he is hoping the ruling party will be able to restore its parliamentary majority it lost. >> is that risky? >> it's extremely risky. a two-front war with the islamic state of iraq and the levant, this may further erode his popularity in turkey. >> why is he not prepared to go to other parties and say, look, if any of you can form a quo ligs party i'll take that. >> he has a single party government since 2002. it was the first time in the 2015 elections that he lost that simple majority, and his aim

coalition partners it hasn't been able to find one, it tries within with the main secular opposition party, the c.h.p., but the chp want add four year long coalition the akp was only interested in a short term coalition and so tonight, working -- hand back the mandate that he gave him to form a government, and that is in their happens. >> and then what happens after that? >> on the time scale, they will probably be mid to the end of november, but the most interesting thing is that between now and then, they will have to be a caretaker government, and that will be made up of the four parties in parliament at the moment. so for the first time, the akp even for a short period of time is going to have to share power, cabinet positions will be given to people from the pro kurdish h.d.p. from the secular republican people's party, and another right wing party. but the others will so we might end up with this rather fractious caretaker government as turkey runs up to elections in mid to end november. they didn't want to have to share power, but it looks like there's no new option. still to come, clowning around, how circ

the chp, the main opposition, secular opposition party, and the ruling party, they have been locked in since the inconclusive election results in june. then the party lost its overall governing majority, hence these talks. both sides have not been able to reach an agreement. it seems you have the secular chp, and the religiously conservative ruling party. the leader of the ruling party said they have quite good talks and thought they were coming together on a couple of points, but they weren't able to do so, and the leader of the chp says he didn't think the akp were ever serious about sharing power for a full four-year term. he thought they were only interested in a few months of power sharing ahead of new elections that they might then call. >> how far are those issues of national security that has been uppermost in everybody's mind, how far are these overshadowing the political talks to try to get some government in place? >> reporter: yeah, of course there have been increased problems on the security front and the economic front as well. the economy is struggling. on the security f
