Erdogan has superficially won the referendum and it is true that for Muslim countries presidential systems , military dictatorships and kings and conquerers of history produced better administrations , stable administrations , high growth rates and empires which lasted for centuries.
But this referendum has been a DEFEAT for Erdogan , he could not get a full 49% of the votes . winning by only 1 % , so he has actually lost the referendum. Opposition won the election who were regarded as weak.
If a man (turkish opposition) fights with a lion (erdogan) and both emerge live with nearly 50% votes then it is opposiiton which won , since lions are supposed to kill the man. survival of man means lion has lost.
Erdogan's treatment of educated islamic party after failed coup and his persecution of even teachers in Pakistan of Pak Turk schools showed a meanness which Turks have turned to votes against him.
