ISTANBUL (Reuters) - There will be no gap in Turkey's governance and the latest political developments will not impact the economy directly, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday, a day after the prime minister said he was stepping down.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Thursday said he would step aside later this month as leader of the ruling AK Party, and therefore as premier, following weeks of rising public tension with Erdogan.
