Excerpt:
Recep Tayyip Erdogan secured his place in history as Turkey's first directly elected president on Sunday, sweeping more than half the vote in a result his opponents fear heralds an increasingly authoritarian state.
In Austria Erdogan managed to gain 80.3 percent of Turkish voters. The Prime Minister visited Austria and Germany earlier this year, as Turkey allowed its diaspora to vote in the presidential elections for the first time.
This was announced by the government-related Turkish newspaper Yeni Safak. However, only nine percent or 9,519 of 105,478 voters living in Austria cast their votes.
