Güncelleme Tarihi:
FM Gul intially called Bahceli on the news that MHP Istanbul MP Professor Mehmet Cihat Ozonder had been killed in a traffic accident. The two men talked, though Gul asserted yesterday that the conversation had not in fact turned to the subject of the upcoming presidential process.
As for a question posed by Hurriyet, as to whether or not the AKP would turn to the opposition MHP for support in selecting the president, Gul provided no answers. Circles close to Gul however have noted that "If the candidacy becomes official, AKP will go to both the CHP and the AKP."
