A presidential election campaign banner of Turkey’s Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, with a slogan that reads “Man of the nation”, hangs on a street near his ruling AK Party headquarters in Ankara August 11, 2014. Turkey’s ruling party begins deliberations on the shape of the next government on Monday after Erdogan secured his place in history by winning the nation’s first direct presidential election. Erdogan’s victory in Sunday’s vote takes him a step closer to the executive presidency he has long coveted for Turkey. But it is an outcome which his opponents fear will herald an increasingly authoritarian rule. REUTERS/Murad Sezer (TURKEY – Tags: POLITICS ELECTIONS)
