An Ankara court has accepted the demands of dissident Nationalist Movement Party's (MHP) members to force an extraordinary party congress, appointing a three-member panel, consisting of Mehmet Bilgiç, Ayhan Erel and Ali Sa??r, to organize the congress. 

The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) wants to see a solid proposal for a new constitution from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) before deciding on whether to support the ruling party in its efforts.

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli has said a "fifth party" could be formed in parliament after the Nov. 1 election. So there has finally been a bit of activity in the election campaign. 

Thank God, now we have a hot topic to talk about. Did Bahçeli receive a tip-off and come up with this? Or did he make up an "imaginary scenario" in order to stir things up? 

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. 

A deputy chair of Turkey?s opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has denied they would support a minority government formed by the Justice and Development Party (AKP) if it agreed to hold a snap election in November.

The second meeting in coalition-making process will take place July 14 between the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), whose partnership for a government is seen as very likely. 

The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) will hold its annual congress on March 21, on the same day as the Nevruz Festival, where a message from the jailed leader of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) Abdullah Öcalan is set to be read out in Diyarbak?r.
