Turkey’s Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit on Monday ruled out resigning as a way to prevent parliament voting for early elections he says would damage his country and its fragile economy, according to the Saudi Press Agency.  

 

"No, I will not," Ecevit told reporters in parliament when asked about speculation he would use his resignation as a means of blocking parliament and postponing elections from the November 3rd date his nationalist coalition allies want. (Albawaba.com)
