Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has said he expects 63 percent Yes votes in the upcoming referendum on constitutional reforms in Turkey, according to Turkish Anadolu Agency.
Speaking to journalists in Istanbul Sunday, Cavusoglu said some surveys suggest current percentage of Yes votes to be over 58 percent, adding that more people are expected to vote Yes.
He also said the rate of voting has increased by more than 30 percent abroad compared with the previous presidential election.
"I hope there will be more. The citizens have a lot of interest," he said, adding he expects voter turnout abroad to be over 50 percent.
The overseas turnout was 8.32 percent in the 2014 presidential election, which was the first time Turkish nationals were able to vote from abroad.
Around 3 million Turkish expats are eligible to vote at Turkey's 120 diplomatic missions in 57 countries. The overseas voting, which started Monday, will end on April 9.
