Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has suggested that the prospective independence of Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) would "further complicate the picture" in a region destabilized by the "artificial borders of the Sykes-Picot agreement" of 1916.

The government's unwillingness to share authorities is tantamount to "suicide," an executive of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) has suggested amid heated debates over his party's support for greater Kurdish self-governance.

A recent call for self-governance supported the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) is "a political assassination attempt" targeting law order and societal peace in Turkey, a senior executive of Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has said.

The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) is hoping to stem Turkey's rising tide of divorces, as the new government's first action since retaining its parliamentary majority in the Nov. 1 general election.

The Justice and Development Party (AKP) is poised to win a majority of the votes in Turkey's early election, partial count suggests.

With 74% of the votes counted, it leaves the other 3 major parties trailing behind at 51%, state-Run Anadolu Agency says.

Its main rival, the People's Republican Party (CHP), has garnered 23%.

Three Justice and Development Party (AKP) members implicated in a physical attack on daily Hürriyet columnist Ahmet Hakan in Istanbul early Oct. 1 have been expelled by the party, the party?s spokesperson Ömer Çelik said Oct. 2.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto?lu convinced former Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan to stand as a candidate for the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in the Nov. 1 election on the last day before the deadline for the party to submit their candidate lists to the Supreme Election Board (YSK).

The likelihood of early elections in Turkey has increased after the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) failed to agree to form a coalition government, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Thursday.

A senior government official has dismissed claims that the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) are holding talks in an effort to form a coalition. 

?I had two meetings with MHP deputy leader Semih Yalç?n. But these were not coalition talks,? Labor Minister Faruk Çelik said in an interview with Habertürk TV on Aug 5.
