Erdogan took his oath of office in a special session of parliament in the Turkish capital, Ankara, attended by heads of state from a dozen nations in eastern Europe, Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East.
"In my capacity as President of the Republic, I swear upon my honor and repute before the great Turkish nation and before history to safeguard the existence and independence of the state," Erdogan said, reading the oath of office.
Many leaders of top Western states were conspicuous at the ceremony only by their absence, with the United States, for example, only sending its charge d'affaires in Ankara.
