Turkish polling stations have closed in a knife-edge election that could end President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's two-decade grip on power and put the mostly Muslim nation on a more secular course. Turnout was expected to be huge in what has effectively become a referendum on Turkey's longest-serving leader and his Islamic-rooted party. (Photo by OZAN KOSE / AFP)

May 14 was once again the day "when the will of this esteemed nation" was manifested, said Fahrettin Altun on Twitter as reported by Anadolu.
"Our nation has spoken and pointed out the way to go. By sharing in solidarity and in peace, we will grow together and will set an example to the world," Altun wrote.
