Poll observers say Turkey must improve freedoms
None
Western observers say Turkey's elections were well-managed but the country needs to expand freedoms to strengthen its democracy.
Election monitors from The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said Monday that the election demonstrated pluralism. But they urged Turkey to improve freedom of expression and create a media environment "free from political pressure." Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan won a third term in office in Sunday's election and he seeks to overhaul Turkey's military-era constitution. (AP)
