Dramatic photos show referendum protesters in Turkey take the streets after Erdogan's narrow win

Protesters took to the streets in Turkey on Monday less than one day after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's power-extending referendum win. According to the Associated Press, hundreds of protesters were shouting "thief, murderer, Erdogan" while banging pots and pans.

"We are protesting today because the results announced by the government are not the real ones. Because actually the 'no' we voted won. But the government is announcing it as 'yes' has won," said 35 year-old lawyer Damla Atalay, to the Associated Press.

The win was narrow, with 51.4% of voters reportedly voting "yes" to extend Erdogan's power.

Associated Press reported that due to the unrest on Monday, Turkey's Council of Ministers decided to extend Turkey's current state of emergency for an additional three months. The current state of emergency was put in place following the attempted coup last July. Parliament will have to approve the extension request before it is final.

Erdogan referred to the referendum as "the most democratic election ... ever seen in any Western country" in a speech to supporters at the Presidential Palace in Ankara.

However, according to Reuters, election observers from the Council of Europe said the vote took place on uneven grounds, as support for the "yes" vote had dominated media in the country and drowned out debate for the "no" vote. The group was also concerned that the election board accepted unstamped ballots, in violation of Turkish law.
