TL;DR Summary

Incumbent President Erdogan claims victory in the Turkish presidential election with over 54% of the votes counted, extending his rule for another five years. Erdogan's supporters celebrate in Ankara and Istanbul, while opposition parties claim the race was not equal due to Erdogan's advantage with state apparatus. The election coincides with the 10th anniversary of the Gezi Park protests, which were sparked by opposition to an urban development project and turned into the biggest anti-government riots in Turkey's history.
