ANKARA (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan told crowds of flag-waving supporters on Sunday that Turkey could hold another referendum on reinstating the death penalty, as he claimed victory in a vote that will hand him sweeping new powers

Addressing crowds in Istanbul, Erdogan said he would "immediately" discuss the issue of bringing back the death penalty with Prime Minister Binali Yildirim and the leader of the nationalist opposition. Such a move would spell the end of Turkey's accession talks with the European Union.

Erdogan also said votes in favour of constitutional changes to replace Turkey's parliamentary system with an executive presidency stood at 51.5 percent. He said everyone should respect the nation's decision, and added Turkey would "shift gears" in the coming period.

What about banning those nude beaches and alcohol? That would be a good start but Erdogan is not serious about the Shariah and is just getting peoples hopes up. He murdered more than 500 Sunni Civilians in Al Bab, Syria. Lest we forget.
