"We'll continue on our path. Talk to the hand".
"The recommendation was considered and the Council of Ministers signed to extend the state of emergency for another three months from Wednesday", Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus told reporters in Ankara.
German integration commissioner Aydan Ozoguz warned against criticizing Turks living in Germany across the board over how they voted, telling regional newspaper Saarbruecker Zeitung that only around 14 percent of all German Turks living in Germany had voted "Yes" and added that most migrants had not voted.
It is illegal to count the unstamped ballots as valid, Tezcan said. "There is a serious and solid problem of legitimacy that will forever be debated". "The ballot papers are not fake, there is no [reason] for doubt".

Erdogan has forged an increasingly conservative Muslim line in the country's politics to the chagrin of many who'd preferred Turkey's secularist past, including European nations Turkey had once sought closer relations with. "It is very clear".
The reaction from Trump contrasts with European Union leaders who have been reserved in their reaction to the narrow victory while monitors expressed concern over the "unlevel playing field". This strengthens the Turkish opposition but also would mean worldwide actors will be more vocal about asking for some of the proposed changes not to go ahead.
"The impact of this referendum in terms of Turkey's democratic credentials on the world stage is unfortunately negative", said Marc Pierini, an expert with the Carnegie Europe think tank. "The next phase will be socially and politically intense, with protests and harsh political polemics".
