Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's prime minister, has been elected for a third term, with the results of Sunday's parliamentary elections suggesting that the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has won more than half of the votes cast.

In his victory speech video he told crowds: "Today is not about settling scores, it's about dreaming a brighter future for Turkey."
