“The presence of at least 367 MPs are necessary in the first round of elections”, former speaker of Turkish parliament, popular politician Husameddin Cindoruk exclusively told APA.

He said if 367 MPs do not attend the elections Republic People’s Party (CHP) will apply to the Constitutional Court. “If Constitutional Court announce verdict on necessity of presence of 367 MPs then parliament elections will be held instead of presidential. But Constitutional Court may give opposite verdict. So it is very important what will happen in Turkey tomorrow.”"
