Maybe they will have a recount & have a different conclusion. We can hope.

Turkey's leader declared victory in a vote to grant his office broad new powers, but the opposition vowed to contest the result
Sunday, April 16, 2017 2:40 PM EDT

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey claimed victory by a narrow and still-contested margin in a referendum that grants sweeping powers to his office, in a watershed moment that the country’s opposition fears may cement his one-man rule.

With just under 99 percent of ballots counted, “Yes” had 51.33 percent of votes cast, and “No” had 48.67 percent, according to the state-run news agency, Anadolu.

But the country’s election commission has yet to announce official results, and Turkey’s main opposition party said they would demand a recount of about 37 percent of ballot boxes, containing around 2.5 million votes.
