Recep Tayyip Erdogan hails referendum victory
--:--
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the country's prime minister have declared victory in yesterday’s referendum designed to hand Erdogan sweeping powers. The Turkish Election Commission has yet to release its official results, and the opposition promised to contest at least a third of the votes cast.
But according to the state-run Anadolu Agency, with 99.8% of the ballots counted, Erdogan is poised to win with 51.4% of voters casting ballots in his favor.
If Turkey’s constitutional amendment bill is passed, what will change? Well to understand this further, we have Turkman Terzi, a Turkish freelance journalist living in South Africa.
