The MHP leader refused to form a coalition government with the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), and also objected to a minority AKP government for elections, Davutoglu told reporters at a press conference in Ankara.
"There seems no way to realize a coalition government," the prime minister said.
He will meet with AKP members and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and "if necessary," he will return his mandate of forming a government, he stated.
The AKP has held several rounds of talks with the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) to form a coalition, but talks failed as the latter did not accept a short-term election government asking for four years of coalition.
Ahmet Davutoglu, the AKP leader and acting prime minister, was officially tasked by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on July 9 to start rounds of negotiations with other political parties.
The Turkish president may call for a snap election if no parties agree on a workable coalition deal within a period of 45 days which will end on Aug. 23.
During the June 7 national elections, no single party received the majority of seats in the parliament to form a single-party government, which made the ruling AKP unable to govern alone for the first time since it came to power in 2002.

ReplyDeleteAhmet Davutoglu said he would return the mandate to the president.
The main opposition CHP said it should now be given the mandate to form a new government.
The political uncertainty comes amid rising violence in Turkey and neighbouring Iraq and Syria.
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.
The AKP's coalition talks with the CHP failed last week.
Correspondents say the CHP is unlikely to secure the support it needs from both the MHP and the HDP to form a coalition of its own...........http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33972120
