ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Wednesday that a critical report by European observers on the referendum to expand President Tayyip Erdogan's powers contained several mistakes which he believed were deliberate.

Observers from the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Council of Europe said Sunday's referendum had been an uneven contest.
