Four political parties in Turkey have officially announced a political alliance ahead of the country's June 24 national election.
The parliamentary main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) lawmaker Bülent Tezcan on Saturday announced the "nation alliance."
CHP is joining forces with the newly-founded fascist Good Party, the Islamist Felicity Party and the centre-right Democrat Party in a bid to weaken the ruling party's 16-year dominance in parliament.
Tezcan said candidates from the Democrat Party would run under the ultra-nationalist Good Party. The parties will all field their own presidential candidates and will run as an alliance for the parliamentary election, which is scheduled for the same day.
