		Personal rivalry between Ciller and Yilmaz, their bitter recriminations during the election campaign and preconditions for a reluctant partnership all doomed earlier efforts for a center-right coalition -- possibly to be backed by a left-wing party -- with Ciller insisting on staying as the prime minister and Yilmaz prepared to hear nothing of the sort.
		Ciller said the most important thing for a partnership was the harmony of views of the participating sides, hence the emphasis she places on the discussion of the coalition program as the more important issue.
		Tansu Ciller will either form Motherpath by giving up her insistence on premiership or she will give the prime ministry to Erbakan and face the attacks of a new government until a new election.
