No party can rule alone – Erdogan
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said an inconclusive election result means no party can govern alone, the BBC reports.
The AK party is meeting to try to form a government after losing its majority at a general election for the first time in 13 years.
It secured 41%, a sharp drop from 2011, and must form a coalition or face entering a minority government.
Mr Erdogan has called on all parties to take a "healthy and realistic" evaluation of the results.
The Turkish lira and shares dropped sharply in response to the results on Monday morning.
The AKP is now likely to seek to form a coalition, but no party has yet indicated it is willing to join forces with it.
