ANKARA- Anadolu Agency

Turkey's main opposition leader said late on March 31 that people sided with democracy during the local elections.       

“We have experienced every kind of injustice, but people sided with democracy. This is very important for us,” Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu said in his speech after the polls.       

Describing the election as a "success,” he said: “This is an election done democratically and humanely, and success gained by this election will be welcomed not only by us but all over the world, as democracy is improving in Turkey.     

"We say: 'Turkey won'. After this election, everybody won. We are ready to fulfill all our duties in overcoming Turkey's economic crisis," he added.
