The results of the referendum are a sign of the people`s trust and confidence in you and appreciation of your successful policy and services to make Turkey more developed and powerful. Certainly, this referendum will mark the beginning of a new stage in the history of your brotherly country and reinforce the international role and standing of a stable and powerful Turkey.
