ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's main opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu said the ousting of Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was in line with President Tayyip Erdogan's drive for a stronger presidency, describing it as a "palace coup" on Thursday.

"Davutoglu's resignation should not be perceived as an internal party issue, all democracy supporters must resist this palace coup," Kilicdaroglu said at a news conference at his Republican People's Party (CHP) headquarters in Ankara.
