Quick Take
Erdogan likely to win Turkish election
Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: We've been talking about them for a while, and the first round, results are now in, Erdogan, not quite at 50%, but really close. You're going to have a second round, but it's almost certain now that he is going to win. Turnout's very high, almost 90%. That seems unheard of, inconceivable for Americans or Europeans, but actually normal turnout in Turkish elections are about 85%, higher this time around because a lot was at stake.
