Ankara: Turks voted for "unity and integrity" in Sunday's election, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said after his Justice and Development Party (AKP) regained its parliamentary majority in a stunning electoral comeback.

"Our people clearly showed in the November 1 elections that they prefer action and development to controversy," he said in a statement. Voters "have given proof of their strong desire for the unity and integrity" of Turkey, he added.
