Counting votes in the presidential elections continues in Turkey. At the time of writing, 84.3% of the ballots were checked, according to the results of which the current head of state Recep Erdogan occupies the leading position with 50.2% of the vote, followed by opposition leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu with 44%.
Without waiting for the results of the verification of all ballots, a large number of supporters of both candidates took to the streets of Istanbul.
