By TM April 17, 2018

Hundreds of people gathered in front of Supreme Election Board (YSK) headquarters in Ankara on Tuesday demanding the cancellation of the results of a referendum held in Turkey on Sunday on the grounds that there were irregularities during the voting.

A constitutional reform package that will introduce an executive presidency in Turkey received 51.4 percent of the vote in favor in the referendum, but some opposition parties have contested the results due to the use of unstamped ballots.
