ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish economic growth would take a hit if talks to form a coalition government fail and a new election is called, Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek said on Wednesday, warning that the uncertainty risked delaying private investment.

The ruling AK Party lost its majority for the first time in a parliamentary election on June 7, forcing it to seek a junior coalition partner or face a re-run, and plunging Turkey into political instability not seen since the 1990s.
