Under one of the constitutional amendments approved in Sunday's referendum, that law has been annulled.
De Zuleta said overall, the procedures "fell short of full adherence" to the standards Turkey has signed up for.
"It's a truly important event that he's a member of the party he is a leader and founder of", Elitas said.
"The constitutional amendments, and especially their practical implementation, will be assessed in light of Turkey's obligations as a European Union candidate country".
Sigmar Gabriel spoke on Monday in Tirana, where he was to meet with senior Albanian officials.
Opponents had argued the constitutional changes would give too much power to a man who they say has shown increasingly autocratic tendencies.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has claimed victory in the referendum, which would see the country switch from the Parliamentary to the Presidential system. President Aliyev regarded the referendum as Turkish people's great support to the policy of President Erdogan.
The win was met with both celebrations and protests across Turkey.
Erdogan himself survived a failed coup attempt last July, responding with a crackdown that has seen 47,000 people detained and 120,000 sacked or suspended from their jobs.
At least 99 per cent of the ballots have been counted, with 51.36 per cent voting a "yes", and 48.64 per cent voting a "no".
Erdogan is likely to have a hard time to consolidate his power further, as the opposition is preparing to contest the vote on grounds of manipulation.
"On April 17, we have woken up to a new Turkey", wrote the pro-government Hurriyet columnist Abdulkadir Selvi.
"The organisation of a referendum on the death penalty would obviously be a break with (the) values and engagements which were accepted by Turkey when it joined Europe's top rights watchdog, the Council of Europe", the presidency said.
Gorsuch confirmed as the newest Supreme Court Justice
And yet in many ways the showdown had been pre-ordained, the final chapter in years of partisan warfare over judicial nominees. They disposed of long-standing rules to prohibit a procedural tactic called a filibuster against Supreme Court nominees.
The main opposition party rejected the result and called for the vote to be annulled. A big problem for the CHP is the memory of failure in the first public-vote presidential election in August 2014, in which Erdoğan spurred almost 52 percent of the votes as Ekmeleddin İhsanoğlu, the joint candidate of the CHP and the MHP, won just 38.5 percent.
Vice President of the social-democratic Republican People's Party (CHP), Bulent Tezcan, said there were widespread irregularities registered in Sunday's vote, Efe news reported.
Authorities said the decision to accept unstamped ballots was legitimate because it was taken before voting began.
Many people have heard the accusations of vote rigging, and some say that they have witnessed it, with a few posting video on Twitter, for example.
Acceptance of the referendum could greatly expand Erdogan's power.
The referendum result lays bare Turkey's serious problems. Different political parties send representatives to polling places to observe balloting. He said observers were not allowed to watch the proceedings for at least 1½ hours until the party's complaint was accepted.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the result showed that "Turkish society is deeply divided" and called for the Turkish government to engage in "respectful dialogue" with all political entities. But the two German leaders also said that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan carries "big responsibility" for the country's next steps. They fear he's already showing authoritarian tendencies.
"There needs to be talks about these issues as soon as possible with Turkey on a bilateral basis, as well as between Turkey and European institutions", Merkel said.
Erdogan declared victory in Sunday's historic referendum that will grant sweeping powers to the presidency, hailing the result as a "historic decision".
The move comes despite protests from opposition parties and worldwide monitoring groups - as well as Trump's own State Department - about voting irregularities during Sunday's referendum.
Istanbul, considered one of the electoral strongholds of the Justice and Development Party, did not witness a majority's vote in favor of the party - also in Ankara 50.3% voted a "no".
Germany, home to several million Turks, said it was up to Erdogan himself to heal the rifts that the vote had exposed.
