The EU urged the Turkish government on Sunday to seek the broadest national agreement after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan narrowly won a referendum granting him increased powers the opposition says risk authoritarian rule, reported AFP.
"In view of the close referendum result and the far-reaching implications of the constitutional amendments, we... call on the Turkish authorities to seek the broadest possible national consensus in their implementation," said a statement issued by European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker, EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini and EU Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn.
"The constitutional amendments, and especially their practical implementation, will be assessed in light of Turkey's obligations as a European Union candidate country and as a member of the Council of Europe," the EU statement said.
