Turkey PM says coalition talks fail, snap polls likely

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Thursday said coalition talks with the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) had ended in failure and early elections were now a strong possibility.

"We have not been successful in assuring a favourable base for the creation of a government," he told reporters. "There is a strong possibility of appealing to the national will," he said in reference to new snap polls, following the inconclusive June 7 elections.
