Turkish constitutional referendum 'Yes' campaign

Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım paid an unannounced visit to the head of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Devlet Bahçeli on April 3.

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli has voiced skepticism about Turkey's long-running EU membership bid, saying membership is "not an existential question" for the country.

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli was re-elected on March 18 at the party congress where he vowed to act in line with the alliance law and not harm their alliance with the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) “on both general and local levels.”

Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said on March 10 Turkey's target was to make medicines required in the country locally. 

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdağ has denied rumors the government would call a snap election, saying that the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) always favors polls to take place on their planned dates.

The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) have agreed on a 26-article legislative package that would pave the way for formal a pre-election alliance, following a face-to-face meeting between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and MHP head Devlet Bahçeli.

The leaders of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) met on Feb. 18 in order to finalize a weeks-long negotiation to formulate an alliance model for the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections.

Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım and Devlet Bahçeli, head of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), are set to meet in Ankara at 8:00 p.m. local time on Jan. 20, Doğan News Agency reported.

The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) will form a parliamentary commission to work on legislative harmonization, after President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and MHP head Devlet Bahçeli held a meeting to discuss their alliance in elections due in 2019.

The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) is currently debating the pros and cons of the Nationalist Movement Party’s (MHP) early decision to back President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the 2019 election, according to sources.
