Turkish president Erdogan makes a rare visit to the opposition CHP party's headquarters after a gap of 18 years.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey has stepped foot in the CHP's headquarters for the first time in 18 years. During this visit, he met with Oğuz Güven, the leader of the CHP, whom he had previously invited to the Presidential Palace back in May for their first rendezvous.
In March's municipal elections in Turkey, the opposition managed to snatch a historic triumph. The social democratic CHP now governs major cities such as Istanbul and Ankara, and has even gained control of previously AKP-dominated cities and provinces.
Following the AKP's worst electoral defeat in more than two decades, Erdogan indicated a willingness to make changes. Erdogan has also been considering a new constitution for quite some time now, a key part of which involves securing the opposition's cooperation. So far, Güven hasn't budged from his rejection of Erdogan's proposals.
