Democracy was on full display in the first round of voting in Turkey’s presidential election on May 14 as the country saw a record high voter turnout of up to 90%, Turkey’s incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
"I thank all our citizens for taking part in the election, which was held in democratic conditions and with a record-breaking voter turnout - up to 90%," he said.
The head of state noted that he has already begun preparations for the runoff election on May 28, but doesn’t plan to hold any rallies.
