Erdogan accepts Turkey cabinet resignation, asks it to stay on
2015-06-10
[Al Ahram] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
on Tuesday accepted the resignation of the cabinet of Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu after legislative elections, but asked it to stay on until a new government is formed.

Davutoglu had met Erdogan for one hour at his Ankara palace to discuss the future of the government after the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) lost its majority in parliament in Sunday's polls.

"Mr President accepted today the resignation of the cabinet that was presented by Mr Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu," Erdogan's office said in a brief statement.

"Mr President, who thanked the cabinet for its services so far, asked the cabinet to remain in charge until a new government is formed."
