ANKARA: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday accused the US and Europe of"meddling" in Turkey's affairs after statements from Western allies following his ruling party's challenge to local election results.
Andrew Dawson, head of a delegation from the Council of Europe in Turkey to observe the vote, said on Monday his team was"not fully convinced that Turkey currently has the free and fair electoral environment which is necessary for genuinely democratic elections in line with European values and principles".The two rival Istanbul candidates both declared victory soon after the vote when initial results showed them in a dead heat.
CHP opposition candidate Imamoglu told Fox Haber broadcaster earlier the difference between himself and the AKP's candidate, Binali Yildirim, was now 18,742 votes. A defeat in Istanbul would be especially sensitive for Erdogan who made his political career as mayor of the city. The AKP or its predecessors had held both cities since 1994.
