Turkey’s President Erdogan seals election victory to enter third decade in power

Turkey's incumbent President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has declared victory in the country's presidential runoff election, extending his rule into a third decade. Preliminary, unofficial results show Erdogan at 52.1% and his challenger Kemal Kilicdaroglu at 47.9%.
Erdogan's victory has implications beyond Ankara as Turkey plays a key role in NATO and stands at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. His government vetoed Sweden's bid to join NATO and purchased Russian missile-defense systems, which prompted the United States to oust Turkey from a U.S.-led fighter-jet project.
