Turkey's incumbent President is claiming victory in the country's historic run off presidential election, with almost all votes counted.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan failed to get 50% of the votes required to win the first round, forcing a runoff with rival Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.
The election has international implications including Turkey's support for Ukraine, and its ability to block or allow other countries to join NATO.
