Hurriyet Daily News: Snap elections to be held on June 24: Erdoğan
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called a snap election on June 24, moving the date up from November 2019.
"Even though the president and government are working in unison, the diseases of the old system confront us at every step we take," Erdoğan said in a speech in Ankara.
"Developments in Syria and elsewhere have made it urgent to switch to the new executive system in order to take steps for our country's future in a stronger way... We discussed Mr. Bahçeli's call with our relevant authorities. We came to the agreement that we should approach this early election positively," he added.
The snap election decision came after a meeting between Erdoğan and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli.

Erodgan wants unassailable power base before he starts a major adventure in Syria. He has to have in mind more than a town here or there. He has to have in mind more than just what he did with Afrin. Could be crunch time for the US-Turkish alliance.
