Turkey’s 62nd government, led by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, is set to outline its program on Sept. 1, placing strong emphasis on the “new Turkey” theme, according to Hurriyet Daily News.

It is particularly set to boost the Kurdish peace process, European Union accession talks, and bring about fresh economic reforms.

As a continuation of previous Justice and Development Party (AKP) administrations, Davutoğlu’s government will also pursue its struggle against the “parallel structure,” a reference to the individuals working in the state apparatus who are affiliated with Fethullah Gulen, a self-exiled cleric in the United States.

The General Assembly is set to convene in an extraordinary session at 2.00 p.m. on Sept. 1 so that Prime Minister Davutoglu can read out his government’s program. According to Parliament’s internal regulations, a debate on the program will take place on Sept 4 and the confidence vote will take place on Sept. 6.

Before reading his program, Davutoglu will convene his Cabinet for the first time at 10.00 am. At the meeting, ministers will review the government’s program and will make last minute updates in any areas that they regard as necessary. After this, Davutoglu will also convene the AKP’s parliamentary group before speaking at the General Assembly.
