Turkish president meets opposition party MHP leader Devlet Bahceli at presidential complex

By Sena Guler

ANKARA (AA) - President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahceli at the presidential complex on Wednesday.

The meeting, which started at 13.30 local time (1030GMT), comes a day after Bahceli made a call on Tuesday for early elections in Turkey.

Speaking at his party's parliamentary group in capital Ankara, Bahceli had said: "It should be known that the MHP wants early elections after the adjustment laws are enacted.

"Electing the president on Aug. 26 [...] is the most rational and reasonable way forward."

On April 16, 2017, Turkey held a referendum during which the majority of voters decided in favor of an 18-article bill to switch from a parliamentary to a presidential system.

The parliamentary and presidential elections are scheduled to take place in Turkey in November 2019.
