Turkey’s Erdogan says Brexit is ‘start of new era’

Author: Agencies

ANKARA: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said Britain’s planned departure from the European Union signalled the “beginning of a new era” and warned the bloc could face new breakups.

“I see this decision made by the people of Britain as the beginning of a new era for Britain and the EU,” Erdogan said during a fast-breaking dinner late on Friday, in his first comments on the shock referendum result.

“Like the entire world, we expected a ‘yes’ result in the referendum but it turned out like that,” he said. Voters in Britain decided Thursday to leave the EU, raising questions over the future of the bloc.
