Former Turkish Prime Minister calls for reforms in ruling party

Former Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called for reforms in Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), Trend reports referring to Turkish media.

According to Davutoglu, being a member of the AKP, he calls on the authorities to carry out serious reforms in the party.

Meanwhile, he noted that he was not sure that the party leadership would take this suggestion into account.
