KOMOTINI, Greece

Four Turkish-Greek lawmakers were returned to the Greek parliament in Sunday’s early election, according to official results released Monday.

Three - Ayhan Karayusuf, Mustafa Mustafa and Huseyin Zeybek - represent Syriza, the leftist party of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras that won more than 35 percent of votes.

Syriza was the first-placed party in Rhodope, Western Thrace, where there is a significant Turkish community.

Ilhan Ahmet, of the centrist To Potami party, was elected in Xanthi, Western Thrace.
