Regardless of voting result, peace in Turkey to continue: Deputy PM

Deputy Prime Minister Tuğrul Türkeş said on Sunday that regardless of whether the "yes" or "no" vote prevails in the April 16 referendum, peace in Turkey will continue.

Speaking at a press conference at the Yunus Emre Turkish Cultural Center in London, Türkeş said that this was not a political race, rather a process to find solutions to a political issue by relying on people's will.

"When this issue came to our agenda, we indicated the necessity of taking the decision to the people, since it is a substantial change, and despite the fact that the assembly have voted in favor of the change unanimously. I would like to emphasize on this point once more. At the end, this is a ballot initiative," he said."Regardless of the outcome, in the morning of April 17, Turkey will continue to have peace," Türkeş concluded.
