LONDON (Reuters) - Turkey's ruling AK Party could change its rules to allow Tayyip Erdogan to stand for a fourth term as prime minister in an "emergency" although such plans are not currently on the agenda, deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said on Thursday.

There has been speculation in Turkey that Erdogan, who has dominated Turkish politics for more than a decade, may try to remain prime minister in the next general election in 2015, even though under current party rules he cannot run again.
