ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's two main opposition parties named a prominent Islamic diplomat on Monday as their joint candidate for an August presidential election in which Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan is also expected to run.
The secularist Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) said they had agreed to nominate Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, who stepped down in December as head of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, or OIC.
