ERDOGAN WINS HUGE VICTORY FOR THIRD TIME IN OFFICE
Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Justice and Development (AK) Party surged to landslide victory in Sunday's general elections, winning almost 50 percent of the votes with 326 seats at the parliament. AK Party got 21 million votes for its third straight term in power. Erdogan vowed to embrace all parts of the society. "Turkey has won. The will of the people has won. We will protect life styles of each and every single one of our citizens. The nation has bestowed us a duty to make a new constitution for which we will seek reconciliation. We will not close our doors on anyone," he told a large crowd of supporters from a balcony of the AK Party headquarters in Ankara.
MAIN OPPOSITION FIGURE SAYS THEY ARE STRONGER AFTER ELECTIONS
Leader of the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Kemal Kilicdaroglu said they emerged stronger from Sunday's elections after his party won 135 seats -- 23 more than the previous election -- with 26 percent of all votes. "We have increased the number of our MPs. This is the best result the CHP got since the military intervention of 1980," he said.

STRONG SUPPORT TO STABILITY WITH 50 PERCENT OF VOTES
The nation said its last word in the elections and wanted stability to continue by giving support to Justice & Development (AK) Party for the third time.
The government, which won one of every two votes in Sunday's general elections, also broke 47 percent record. However, number of MPs changed and this weakened government's power in the parliament.

AK Party which sent 341 MPs to Parliament in 2007 general elections with 46.7 percent of the votes could won 326 seats although it got 50 percent of the votes in 2011 elections.
Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) was also another victim of the system.
