before the akp in 2002, this was a normal coalition government. d again, this is where we are at the moment. all of the political leaders will be at risk of instability in the economy and the markets. it has already started today with heavy falls in the currency and socks. >> what does this victory mean for the pro-kurdish and for turkey? >> up until now, pros kurdish -- pro-kurdish parties have always received very little support. they are viewed with sufficient -- with suspicion because of their links to rebel kurdish groups. there has been quite a bit in the peace process in the past few years but up until recently, turks have been very reticent to giving support to the pro-kurdish party. that changed with the selection. we saw the party move away from its kurdish politics and more to a pluralistic platform, women's rights, gay rights, workers rights and the turkish republic embraced this. large numbers of votes went to the kurdish party, and that was the key factor for getting the 10% threshold for entering parliament. and the leader acknowledg

demertash said he will not form a coalition with the akp. ght now the question of what happens to the kurds and the kurdish peace process is very much up in the air. >> rose: stephen, what does this do for turkey and erdogan's policy for turkey to be a primary prayer in the region and have influence -- primary player in the region and have influence as it has had not only in terms of what happened in syria but also ireland and other factors that are in the mosaic of middle eastern and gulf politics? >> it's a terrific question, charlie. over the course of the last couple of years we've seen turkey's position in the middle east virtually collapse. ankara has had difficult relations with virtually every important middle eastern capital. the fact warned has been driven somewhat a blow, and i agree it's still the dominant party imarnerred about 41% of the vote it has been defeated only relative to its previous success. one would think a coalition government would reorient turkish foreign policy to some extent, but given the fact the akp will rema

has been one of the great advantages akp has had. ments and there's a new constellation that emerges of turkish political parties that's capable of creating a governing majority that can move the country forward. >> okay. thank you. let me ask quickly about a very important topic which can is more important the kurdish issue, and how these elections are going to affect the peace process. at one point in time it seemed that perhaps a majorxe the president to be engaged in this peace process is he thoughts the kurds would be the constituency to push him over the top in order to get the majority he needed to create the executive presidency. now we appear to have the opposite result. in fact, the elections and the peace process and the kurdish issue has actually strengthened, alternative kurdish party weakened the akp and empowered another party, the mhp, that seems quite opposed to the entire process. so i -- can we say anything about how the elections are likely to affect this peace process that seems quite fragile, bogged down? are the

and that is the challenge facing the akp. they have won power in the last 13 years on the back of a growing economy. akp policies when they first came into power, liberalizing the economy and bringing in an economic boom. the economy is slowing down that's a challenge that the akp faces. unemployment is up a little bit. people are beginning to question whether everything the akp - whether the policies of the akp presenting are the ones they want. the other political parties are challenging the akp on the economic turf. that is why the incumbent party, as in any election in the world faces a big change trying to remind voters why they are there. nobody doubts that the akp will win. the question is by how much they will win. that is what matters. >> correct. bernard smith. thank you >>> a british ship launched a mission to rescue another 500 migrants in the mediterranean sea. 15 search and rescue missions took place on saturday. nearly 3,500 were detained and taken to southern italy. we have more from lampedusa where many migran

all of the parties have said they will not enter a coalition with the akp. that's going to be difficult moving forward if they are not able to form a coalition over the next 45 days, there's a chance they have to go back to the polls and hold elections again. we will see a lot of horse trading and seeing if a coalition can be built out. in terms of what the kurds need to do, the kurdish peace process is on the table. one of the possible coalition partners they can align with is the htp but it will be a question whether they will be able to sit down with erdogan after his quite anti-kurdish rhetoric during the campaign and be able to form a coalition with him. he has said he will not form a coalition with the akp, so right now, the question of what happens to the kurds and the kurdish peace ross is is very much up in the air. charlie: what does this do for turkey's and erdogan's ability to be a player in the region and have some influence as it has had not only in terms of what happened in syria that it's relationship with israel and other factors that are par

then the kurdish minority strongly disagrees with the akp on election reform and like the others has said it will not prop up an akp government. joining us live from washington d.c. author of the rise of turkey the 21st century first muslim power. thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera. >> pleasure to be with you. >> just reading how some of those parties you know would go and who they would and wouldn't form an alliance with. it doesn't look like the akp is going to find it iz to easy to join an loins. >> true. formed by parties from outside to seek confidence or it might be a coalition government less likely scenario perhaps as what you figured out seems implausible to bring about a coalition. in any case, one thing is for sure after having been run by a single party turkey is entering a train of minority governments and we know no coalition or minority government has ever lasted its full term. that means turkey will definitely have a mid term election, since it's very likely the government will not last its term. finally, turkey usually witnesses economic and political

are they going to suffer any price within the akp? s there any chance former president we will try and make a comeback? or is he still very much the man in control dominating this party and we'll get his way? >> i would argue the way in which this book was launched is very indicative of the style and politics. the book was written by his chief advisors of the last 12 years, and the book was really actually -- he was told to wait until after the elections. the implication is so we don't hurt the campaign. it has so far been very timid, careful is a politician who does not like taking risks too much. he is doing it again in a very gentle manner. he will probably not be too proactive in trying to have a takeover attempt within the akp. on the contrary we might see a declaration of independence by trying to take greater control of the party. he has already indicated a few times that the president should stay in his role, and the coalition talks should be among the leaders and not with the pres. so we might see him slowly trying to assert h

despite the ruling party's defeat the party leader tried to put a positive spin on the result. >> the akp is the winner and finished first in the election. >> in line with turkey's proportional representation system, the akp will need to form a coalition. failure to do so could mean the country will have to prepare for new elections. genie: for more on the election in turkey, let's bring in jasper mortimer. what do you think it is going to be, early elections or a coalition? jasper: deputy -- the deputy prime minister has just come out and said his party will try to form a coalition. he said early elections were distant. backing that up, however, is when erdogan broke his silence just now, he urged all parties to behave responsibly demonstrate sensitivity to the situation, and do all they could to maintain stability. i think i that, erdogan was clearly signaling that he wants to see his party forge a coalition rather than opt for new elections. genie: what kind of coalition could we be looking at? jasper: the most logical one would be between the two right-wing parties in parliament. the

just last night the nhp leader ruled out a coalition with akp. they can still reconsider their decision, but i think a coalition government will be necessary, and if that does not has been the president will have to call for early elections. >> the kurdish party gained some seats in parliament. how important is that to the future of the turkish government? >> well it's quite important. first, irng historic for the kurd dish political movement. this was the first time that a pro-kurdish party ran as a party rather than fielding independent candidates. it captured 13% of the vote and that is a historic success. they have to appeal to a non-kurdish segment of the country. they attracted votes from the liberals, from conservative kurds who vote for the parties and the akp. they appealed to the people lives in the western part of the country. so this is a big achievement, but i think now the big question is what will happen to the kurdish peace process? that will determine the future course of turkey's political movement. >> it's good to have you on th

certainly, also, in the first akp term, the human rights reforms also mattered.o agree with you that certainly, turkey is a divided society. you have to count the votes of the nationalist nhp. together, they make around 70%. most of that are conservatives and not necessarily very sympathetic of women's liberation etc. you also have the other, let's say 30%. it is a divided society. they are much like the u.s. in a way. that's why consensus and deliberation and democracy and talking is important. that's why i think coalition, if they can achieve it, wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. i think it will be a very good thing. it would give the rest of the 30% also a voice. ursula: would it be a step forward democracy in turkey, but would it be a step forward for turkey too? i think that is the question that the turkish people ask now. it seems to me that they were a little shocked by the outcome of the election. dilek: why would it be -- ursula: when you have two parties coming along with each other, there will be instability in political decisions and things like th

when people get more powerful sometimes they do not keep their promises and the akp disappointed us. >> reporter: though the image of hdp leader is hanging along other kurdish heroes is hope of how much faith they have in him. >> we have to bring peace to turkey. the second thing is we have economic problems now in turkey. and we have to solve the problem. because if you don't solve the problem people will go into the street again. >> reporter: minority groups and ethnic turks were also persuaded to throw their support behind the hdp. that's how it won 80 parliamentary seats. to get 30% of the vote at the first attempt is remarkable. but if there's no government formed then there will be fresh elections and the hdp will have to try to pull off the same feat all against. working hard to make sure kurdish representation in turkey's parliament isn't short livid. >>> we're joined by an assist professor in the department of political science at istanbul's university. what is your impression why that kurdish party did do so well? >> the main success after this election is the kurdish party

a big setback for the akp. but celebrations for the hdp. what made them so popular? >> well, a number of reasons and analysts are pointing to a variety of factors that lend to that success. they point to the leader, a young lawyer, very charismatic who has been able to appeal beyond the kurdish core base, maybe to some leftest liberals as well. it's also important to know that the party despite its success the economy economy and it needs a change to win a third term let alone a fourth term. also some people say that the ak party has hit a glass cerealing in terms of its achievement and fails to present anything new to bring in new votes. there were a number of factors that led into it. a number of analysts will be investigating and deciphering those. but the fact is that the ak party finds itself in unchartered territories and will they be able to come out of this while maintaining the support base that they managed to cling on to in yesterday's elections, a and possibly be able to build on that. >> thank you for that. >>> now the president of south korea has vowed

pro-kurdish opposition party said today it would not form a coalition with the akp. for more let's bring in jasper mortimer. tell us more about what the president had to say today in his speech about the election. jasper: the election on sunday turkey with no party having the majority in parliament. negotiations to form a coalition are going slowly because all three opposition parties have strong reservations about jumping into bed with the party that won the most seats. today are the one said, i will do my part to maintain stability and continuity in accordance with the constitution. that is interesting. in accordance with the constitution, he seemed to be saying that he would be a neutral president in line with his old -- his oath of office. last week and for about five weeks beforehand, he has been shamelessly campaigning in the elections, obviously violating constitutional oath of neutrality. today he indicated he would step back from that. his pointing out maintaining stability and continuity. several times he said continuity is essential. that seemed to be sugg

at a polling station in one of is st neighborhoods where the akp enjoys a solid support base. the fact that regulations state as media we are allowed into polling stations as long as we are not impeding an individual's ability to vote, we were just asked to leave the premesis here. a sizable argument ended up breaking out after those local authorities in the building were unclear as to whether or not we should be allowed to film. illustrating just how tense the situation here potentially is. contributing to that was the fate of the pro kurdish people's democratic party, the hdp. attempting for the first time to enter parliament as a party. and to achieve that, having to cross a 10% national threshold. they succeeded and made history. these results are the triumph of freedoms in the face of oppression and of peace in the face of war. the hdp parliamentian declared. a key factor that drove up the hdp votes was fear of what the akp would do if it gained enough seats to unilaterally overhaul the constitution and implement a presidential system that could potentially see the turkish

because that is going to determine exactly how much power the akp, the justice and ruling party, doesyou mentioned 330 seats. if they are able to achieve that number, this would mean that they can make constitutional changes, rather, they can put constitutional changes to a referendum without needing support from other parties. now, interestingly, voter turnout in turkey is pretty high, at around an average of 82%. we've been seeing a regular flow of people coming through. one of the things that analysts are saying is that some people might choose to vote for the kurdish party, the hdp. not necessarily because they subscribe to the hdp's ideology or their long-term overarching aims and goals, but because they are that concerned about akp getting those seats that they would need to be able to make those potential constitutional changes. the hdp, the kurdish party, is running for the first time as a party. and critical in all of this for them is whether or not they can secure the 10% national threshold. if they are unable to secure that, this means they will not be represented? parliame

will the akp opt to partner up with the chp or will it be the mhp, if a coalition government is not formed then turks could find themselves have to vote once again in parliamentary elections possibly before the end of the year. it seems that the current polarization could well result in a hung parliament and an uncertain future. even though these results have dealt a blow to the ak party dominance of the political party seen here in turkey, supporters say they are fully back the party's leadership. however that leadership may have to rethink some of its policies and its approach if it's to regain control of the parliament and be able to govern once again on its own. jamal al shael. al jazeera. >> 23 new cases of mers have been identified in south korea. fears grow about the quick spread of the disease. as harry fawcett reports the government is trying new ways to keep the public safe. >> it's not a typical monday for this girl, following instructions from her sool to stay school to stay indoor. >> translator: as a nationwide problem i follow decision. a few days ago my daughter got afever

taking part for the akp along side the president means that the crisis only promises to deepen after monday if akp fails to get enough seats. coalition or not coalition if akp even gets number of seats between 276 through 330, which is not enough for a referendum. still the constitutional crisis will be a fact to be faced for turkey. that means a lot of hard times for erdogan to deal with because in that case most of the opposition parties the leaders will start challenging the situation that if is sustainable, that something has to be done about this, and it also depends whether or not judicially itself is encouraged and emboldened enough to take the matter in its own hands. we are no matter what the outcome of the elections tomorrow as turkey heading for crisis even that party wins big again with the sliding over the landslide that will be another type of crisis because this would mean challenging the constitution by way of majorityism. or if akp loses there would be a slide. again, turkey would be faced with a constitutional crisis. >> it looks like a difficult period. why are the

talking about the erosion of the akp, erdogan's party has put coalition scenarios on the agenda. tricky situation -- it is unclear whether or not a coalition can be formed. one party that has gained a lot of power in this election is the pro-kurdish peoples democratic party. it won 13% of the global -- it won 13% of the vote. you can see they describe their leader as "the guitar-playing kurdish obama whose thwarted the president's ambitions." he ran a very successful campaign by reaching out to western secularists and women. speaking of women, there another article in "the guardian," focusing on another interesting outcome of the election, that there will be a record number of women mp's among them. genie: let's go back now to "the new york times," which has an in-depth focus on what it calls the worst migration crisis since world war ii. flo: you can see "the new york times" is talking about the global struggle to respond to the worst refugee crisis in generations. 11 million people were uprooted by violence last year. a lot of this was due to the conflict in syria iraq, ukraine

. >> on june 7th the ruling akp party, recep tayyip erdogan's party, took a hit. they lost 10% of the vote and the majority in parliament. the party that gained was the kurdish party, the h.d.p. the h.d.p. ran on an inclusive message, including with a number - they had a gay - openly gay representative running on that ticket. the inclusion is a reason they lost so many seats. my reading of the crack town is that it's a chief political move. turkey has to form a coalition government. there's no clear majority. tuesday, they will nominate a speaker, and on july 1st they will do proceedings to form a government. if they are not able to do that there'll be elections. another election would be held. atp would gain ground and possibly regain a major city. it's a political ploy to recapture power. do you think it could working backfire. right now it's unpredictable what will happen. if one of the parties will agree to form a pert a government with the akp. it's interesting that they are reacting in this way. it's a knee jirk reaction which is unlike them. they have taken

all the votes will go to the akp. if they pass the 10% threshold. they'll have a lot of mps, and the mkp success will be limited. that's why they have four parties at play. the fourth is the big one, that is why a lot of people that don't sympathise will vote. >> so two potential important outcomes here. whatever which it goes how do you think turkey's neighbours are viewing the events? >> well i am sure the regime in syria is not happy with the current government in turkey and would like to see it fold. but - and maybe there are other countries in the region, including egypt. that is one of the things that the president have been using in their election campaign. they said if you are against the abdul fatah al-sisi regime in egypt. if it is a democracy free election, vote for us. presenting themselves as the saviour of the downtrodden in syria and egypt. maybe there's something in that. inside turkey, the prop is the country, economy, issues and the visible and commonizing political rhetoric that is used. the turks need national reconciliation afte

. >>> the akp in turkey has lost its majority in parliament. al jazeera's jamal al shayal is in ankara. >> this time despite the you jubilation of the crowd there was a sense of disappointment. they were hoping to come here and celebrate a vic industry thatvictory.but it appears a major upset. since coming to power 13 years ago, the ak party failed to get enough votes to act on their own. first time in 13 years that the ak party contested parliamentary elections without recep tayyip erdogan. >> the ak party is the leader and finished first in this election. there is no doubt about that. nobody should make a victory out of an election loss. everyone should reassess themselves. >> one of the biggest crit siments of thecriticismsof the ak party meanwhile there were also scenes of disappointment at the main opposition chp. they fell well short of the 35 35%en that they were aiming for. >> translator: ended era through democratic means. democracy has won turkey has won. >> reporter: that's what everyone will be waiting to find out, whether a coalitio

the party would have needed a three-fifths majority on a constitutional amendment. akp appears to have lost support amid criticism from opposition parties that say he is using a heavy-handed approach against his opponents. media reports are projecting the pro party is set to mark lashlg gains. it's the first time the party has taken part in a parliamentary election on its own. police in the new york state of new york have launched a manhunt for two killers that escaped from a maximum correctional facility fear the canadian border. police say the convicted murders used electric am machinery to cut through walls and pipes in adjoining cells. they escaped through a man hole t. men stuffed their beds with clothing and left a note taunting prison guards that read "have a nice day!" >> this is the first escape from the maximum security portion of the institution ever since 1865 and we went through the tunnels. you look at the precision of the operation. it was truly extraordinary. >> police are offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the men's capture. >>> one o

>> it depends on whether the akp is one of the part offer in of this unit. nally that akp will be very taupe a coalition in coming days. if one of the reformist parties for ten years, akp is going to be in power, in the coalition, i think we should be more optimistic about the reform agenda. >> we saw intervention from the central bank. do you see that happening in the coming days anything more? >> the question is the freedom of the central bank. whenever we look at different banks all who divert you can say that this -- i mean, bank of england, central bank of europe and others, how they are free to do something. whenever there's a problem, whether there's turmoil in turkey central bank can do that they can do everything they can. for that reason i think central bank will do the best whether there's a coalition, whether there's no government. i think we'll see more volatility, but central bank will be there. >> that's basically the fact that we've seen the central bank governor take a hit from politics certainly from president erdogan saying it for years? >>

so right now the big question is whether, first of all, akp will have the majority to form a government whether it will have to form a government or whether there will be a coalition government in turkey, which will be also a big change. and the second question is what will this mean for mr recep tayyip erdogan's power position personally because right now the prime minister is the one who is basically doing whatever recep tayyip erdogan wants him to. now he gains political power and capital, being - becoming a real prime minister. in a way. >> all right, thank you so much >>> still ahead a call for help. iraq's prime minister takes his consent to a g7 summit in germany. a major test for this man, heading for the polls in elections. and a massive celebrations awaiting them. saudi-led air strikes hit yemen, and 44 soldiers were killed hundreds wounded. the base was used by a former president bashar al-assad and houthi allies. other allies targeted positions. troops loyal to the ousted president were stationed there. my colleague laura kyle spoke to a u.n. special envoy to yemen, jamal be

erdogan and the akp managed towxmg bury those az stop those investigations from going 2xaeñ forward. gedly former president gule was in favor of having those ministers, those investigations continue. what are the chances do you think? are these investigations likely to be resurrected in the near future? >> there could be kind of horse trading. the opposition could ask for maybe two of the ministers of akp's choice and we have strong suspicions who those could be.)áq -- could be the ministers kind of going for an investigation. but another theory is that the investigations will not be part of the coalition agreements since party groups according to the turkish constitution are not allowed to have binding decisions on the vote. on these investigation votes. so the parties could simply say it's up to the individual deputies to decide. and in the new parliament arrhythmia tick if the majority of the deputies decide+++p-/ i don't see thapg. >> one final quick yes or no question. does erdogan survive to the end of his first term as president? >> i would say yes. but now he has the chance of

president carter want -- perside nt -- president erdogan's party lost the parliamentary majority. his akp won almost 47%. the second lowest won about 1/4 of the vote. a total of 550 seat in the house putting together a coalition could be difficult. there could be another election. what does it all mean for turkey? reporter: finally, he has given statement the day after that election. he said, "our nation's opinion is above everything else. the results do not give any opportunities for any parties to form a government." he is trying to encourage some kind of coalition. the problem is no other party wants to go into coalition with the ak party. it's a very divided party with long allegations of corruption. it has polarized the nation. a very tough coalition building now for the ak party. it has 45 days to try and form a government, otherwise turkey will be pushed towards fresh elections. if you cannot put together a coalition, the opposition parties could try to unite -- it cannot -- if it cannot put together a coalition, the opposition parties could try to unite and push it out. katty: i s

on june 7th, turkey had general election and the governing akp party lost its dominance over the politicalcape. now it's not up to neither president erdogan, nor the current government but to the in-coming government, and now the nationalist turkish party, so-called nationalist action party, who is adamantly against [ inaudible ] in turkey let alone the region has opposed any reconciliation or cooperation with the kurdish parties. this situation, the internal instability in turkish domestic politics, make the situation much more important and critical than it has -- it has already been. >> always good to talk to you, sir. many thanks indeed for being with us. >>> u.n. investigators have accused all sides in the syrian conflict of targeting civilance. the u.n. commission of inquiry has drawn up five confidential lists of suspected war criminals. investigators say the government has dropped barrel bombs on aleppo nearly every day this year. 36 civilians are said to have died in such attacks in the last 24 hours alone. rebels have ceased cities depriving people of food and medicine. we're joi

for the past 13 years the justice and development party or akp has held the majority rule in parliament. there are major concerns though that and outright akp win would mean further antiwestern rhetoric and more political pressure on dissent and freedom of expression in turkey. patricia sabga has the story. >> radically transform turkey's ruling party. >> primarily erdogan's. >> needs to win a big enough majority in parliament to constitutionally change the role of president from figure head to most powerful figure in the nation. but some are concerned about turkey's drift towards authoritarianism. since antigovernment protests swept the country two years ago ago, internet restrictions, crack down on the media expanding of the powers and favoring the ruling party have all happened on erdogan's watch paving the way to a system that could bear little resemblance to the american model. erdogan has significant political backing but so does the opposition. >> turkey is quite polarized and there is some concern in washington whatever the outcome is there is likely to increase the political te

the justice and development party, or akp, still won the most seats, but lost legislative control for the first time in 13 years. the result will thwart erdogan's bid to increase his presidential powers. the pro-kurdish hdp party won seats for the first time after appealing to erdogan's leftist and secular opponents. pakistan has acknowledged it has cleared eight of the ten people convicted for the attempted murder of pakistani education activist malala yousafzai. in 2012, yousafzai was shot in the head by a taliban gunman who boarded her school bus. she survived serious wounds and now continues to campaign around the world, winning the nobel peace prize last year. in april, pakistan said 10 men had been sentenced to life imprisonment for the attack. but pakistan now says eight of them were actually acquitted due to a lack of evidence. protests broke out in parts of mexico on sunday as the country held midterm elections. both striking teachers and relatives of 43 students missing since last year burned ballots and accept antigovernment unrest. the pri party of mexican president enriqu
