11:03 am
a proud tradition of high voter turnout did not disappoint early indications were that more than eighty six percent of them participated. well our two ons are party reply and with the presidential victory there will be disappointments over their parliamentary performance with the a.k.p. losing the two thirds supermajority they once held only managing to secure a simple majority with the help of their nationalist m h p allies the big winners in the parliamentary votes were the kurdish h d p winning over fifty seats making this new legislative body more diverse than the previous one and it's that who it is and that many in turkey will hope can help bridge the political divide that continues to affect turkish society speaking to the nation i don't seem to understand those concerns. we're. no one should be discriminated against in this country because of their belief because of their gender or because of their origins we will not allow this. your position will be
11:04 am
disappointed that they were unable to at least force a second round of voting they will take heart however from their improved performance in the parliament and the fact that's a relatively unknown person like i was able to secure a thirty percent in such an important election with this victory out obama has not only hope for once again. the right household edition of the day the by becoming the first ever became president he is now right you. have to believe in the family all of them to work to come out of the mold that different because of. recent history now because you refuse to will be turning to look for him to deal with. the social problem this is. a little unfair on. well let's look at the numbers in detail now i don't want to be more than fifty two
11:05 am
percent of the vote in a field of six candidates why i'm enjoying his nearest rival poll thirty percent eight percent of votes went to the imprisoned leader of the. parliamentary vote party it's leading with forty three percent the c.h.p. is second with nearly twenty three percent and the d.p. will be the third largest party with just over eleven percent simcoe gauging reaction now in a sample. the reactions for the election so far has been present. in the newspapers as they are mostly in directly controlled by the government and their supporters they have been saying that storms and he is reelected as the president peoples a lot. one majority one surprise for the election was the unexpected success for the nationalists and they should be party which was allied with the ruling out party for the presidential election to support them to gain the majority as an
11:06 am
alliance so that wasn't expected and the main opposition newspaper gymboree it which had considered victories with the government for the one of the house here for the last one and a healthier as the headline as the government is trapped by the wolf wolf is the is the nickname for the turkish nationalists actually this and these are the reactions by the people but on the other hand the opposition party who saw that very high performance just right before the election is kind of disappointed but they have announced that they have accepted the results which was declared announced by the elect higher electorial board last night and the president and the presidential candidate for the main opposition is going to hold a press conference he's going to talk about the results but they say they will struggle against the one man rule will continue on democratic platforms and to burn a smith now was more reaction from the main opposition. there's frustration and
11:07 am
disappointment here the republican people's party at the t.h.b. better hope that their candidate more i mean jay would at least a forced a second round runoff vote to do that they needed to deprive stop present one getting more than fifty percent plus warm vote it appears that one. in j. has not really got over about thirty percent of the vote so a lot of disappointment here that the opposition will say that they never started off this election with a level playing field much of the television news time was devoted to the act party and president and they got about sixty seven hours coverage last month compared to seven hours coverage for example for the republican people's ball. those so they say they were facing an uphill battle all the way they might take some consolation from the suggestion that the out party has been to deprive its overall majority in
11:08 am
parliament it will have to work with this far right m.h.d. party to help pass legislation through parliament and those in favor of the out party and also the pro kurdish h.e.p.a. is represented in parliament so that may may suggest that is a very representative selection of turkish society in parliament but above all yes frustration and disappointment here the c.h.p. that we're not going to see a second round runoff here for the presidency of church. over turkey's southern border u.s. backed forces controlling the syrian city of raka have declared a state of emergency and imposed a three day care a few commanders say they have information that i saw fighters who infiltrated the city are planning a bombing campaign i saw was pushed by the syrian democratic forces last october people in iraq have been complaining about discrimination from the s.d.f. which is dominated by kurdish fighters. italy's interior minister met taylor salvini is in libya for talks on europe's migration crisis that either of the far
