Turkish government formally resigns
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan`s office says he has accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu`s government to allow for the formation of a new government after his ruling party lost its parliamentary majority in a national vote, AzVision.az reports citing Turkish media.

Erdogan is now expected give Davutoglu the difficult task of forming a coalition government.

Opposition parties have vowed to resist any pact with the ruling party. They are likely to demand limitations on Erdogan`s role in government, complicating any coalition talks.

Tuesday`s resignation is part of the political custom and the government will stay in office until a new one is set up.
