ANKARA: Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan promised to work with rivals toward a consensus over a new constitution for Turkey after winning Sunday's parliamentary election with a reduced majority.
"The people gave us a message to build the new constitution through consensus and negotiation," he said in a victory speech to supporters from the balcony of the AK Party headquarters in Ankara. "We will discuss the new constitution with opposition parties."
An exultant Erdogan addressed thousands of cheering supporters from the balcony of party headquarters in Ankara, saying: "Today, for yet another time, democracy and the national will have prevailed. "Gaza, Palestine and Jerusalem have also won," said the leader, whose self-professed mission of defending "the oppressed", flavoured with a vision of Islamic fraternity, has crossed borders and made him a hero on Arab streets.
Thousands of ecstatic supporters gathered outside AKP offices in Ankara, dancing and singing, as the refrain of the party's election song "Come on, once more!" blared from loudspeakers. "Turkey is proud of you," they chanted, referring to Erdogan.
