ANKARA, (APP/AFP) – Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan has said Britain’s planned departure from the
European Union signalled the “beginning of a new era” and warned
the bloc could face new breakups.
“I see this decision made by the people of Britain as the
beginning of a new era for Britain and the EU,” Erdogan said
during a fast-breaking dinner late on Friday, in his first
comments on the shock referendum result.
“Like the entire world, we expected a ‘yes’ result in
the referendum but it turned out like that,” he said.
Voters in Britain decided Thursday to leave the EU,
raising questions over the future of the bloc.
