MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Earlier in the day, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that the European Union should in a proper way consider the result of the referendum and revise its vision of the future.

"Fragmentation of the European Union has started. Great Britain is the first to leave the ship," Cankili wrote on his Twitter account.

On Thursday, the United Kingdom held a referendum on UK's EU membership. According to the final results, 51.9 percent of voters, or 17.4 million people, decided to support Brexit, while about 16.1 million opposed it.
