Turkey's opposition parties have the right to file objections to the outcome of a recent referendum on expanding presidential powers, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said Wednesday, but he warned that calling for street protests was unacceptable.
Speaking to reporters in Ankara, Yıldırım said the ruling AKP party had received a message from the nation in the vote, which the "yes" camp won by a narrower majority than it expected, which was that it needed to be more careful on some issues.
"Calling people to the street is wrong and is outside the line of legitimacy," Yıldırım said.
Thousands have protested in Istanbul and Ankara since Sunday's referendum, which has set into motion the transformation of Turkey's system of government from a parliamentary to a presidential one.
