ANKARA (Reuters) - The official final results of Turkey's general election on Sunday will be released in 11-12 days' time, the head of the country's election board, Sadi Guven, told a news conference. The delay allows the board time to consider any complaints from political parties. Initial results broadcast by state-run TRT television put the ruling AK Party on 49.4 percent, comfortably enough to give it a parliamentary majority.
