土耳其爲公投存在作弊現象的指稱提出辯護

Turkey's prime minister hit back Tuesday at European monitors who said more than 2 million votes could have been manipulated in Sunday's closely contested referendum on expanding presidential powers.

Binali Yildirim, responding to criticism from the Council of Europe's observer mission, said debate over the outcome of the referendum was "over," and that "the people's will had been reflected at the ballot box."

He spoke in response to calls from the council to investigate alleged vote irregularities that several official observers said allowed as many as 2.5 million uncertified ballots to be counted.

Separately, European monitors alleged that those who campaigned against Erdogan's push for expanded powers faced numerous obstacles, including a lack of freedom of expression, intimidation and access to the media. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe also alleged misuse of administrative resources by Erdogan ahead of Sunday's vote.土耳其總理星期二反擊歐洲選舉觀察員有關星期天就擴大總統權力問題舉行的有爭議的全民公決中有200多萬張選票受到操縱的指稱。

土耳其總理比納利·耶伊爾德勒姆迴應歐洲理事會觀察團的批評說，就公投結果的爭吵“到此爲止”，“人民的意願通過投票箱得到了體現”。

他的表態是迴應歐洲理事會提出的對所稱的投票違規進行調查的呼聲。一些歐洲觀察員表示，這些違規現象導致多達250萬張未經驗證的選票被記入選舉結果。

另外，歐洲觀察員指稱，反對埃爾多安推動擴權的活動人士面臨重重阻礙，其中包括缺少言論自由、面臨恐嚇和難以接觸媒體。歐安組織還稱埃爾多安在星期天的投票前濫用行政資源。
