The Turkish parliament on Friday swiftly passed a motion confirming snap elections will take place on June 24 in line with a decision by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The motion presented in parliament earlier in the day was passed by 386 lawmakers in the 550-seat parliament.
The pro-Kurdish leftist Peoples'Democratic Party (HDP) walked out of the general assembly before the vote was held, a photographer in parliament said.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan surprised Turkish politics watchers and voters when he declared that there would be snap parliamentary and presidential elections on June 24.
In a week of fast-moving developments, Erdogan declared the date just a day after his nationalist ally Devlet Bahceli on Tuesday urged early polls in August.
