This weekend's elections in Turkey, which resulted in no party securing enough votes to form a government, have been touted as a significant moment in Turkish democracy. The vote saw the rise of minor and ethnic minority-based groups triggering demonstrations across the country.
"Our nation's opinion is above everything else," Recap Tayyip Erdogan has said in his first statement following the surprise election result ending Erdogan’s decade long period of governance.
Calling for cooperation between the countries major parties, Erdogan urged leaders to be "careful to preserve the environment of confidence and stability".
Erdogan’s AKP party remains in front with 41 percent, followed by the Republican People's Party (CHP) on 25 percent, the right-wing Nationalist Movement Party on 16.5 percent and the Kurdish-backed HDP securing 13 percent of the vote.
