Turkey to hold snap general election after coalition talks fail
Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced a snap general election.
Voters are expected to go to the polls on 1 November after Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu abandoned efforts to form a coalition government.
Mr Davutoglu's AK Party lost its 12-year majority rule in Turkey in elections in June largely because of the success of the pro-Kurdish HDP.
Emre Temel from the BBC's Turkish Service said according to the polls a new election would not give a different result.
