Turkey blames Gulen and his supporters for orchestrating the July 15 coup attempt, a charge he denies.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan speaks during a rally after referendum victory, at the Presidential Palace in Ankara, Turkey, 17 April 2017.
"The tight referendum result shows how deeply divided Turkish society is and that means a big responsibility for the Turkish leadership and for President Erdogan personally", she said.
Erdogan says concentrating power in the hands of the president is vital to prevent instability.
The narrowness of the victory has raised doubts.
"There are those who are belittling the result".
EU Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said on Tuesday that if Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan moved "from rhetoric to action on the issue of the death penalty (it) would be clear signal that Turkey does not want to be a member of the European family". "The crusader mentality attacked us overseas, inside their lackeys attacked us".
Monday night saw protests break out in various cities across Turkey, with a handful of detentions reported in Izmir and Antalya.
He added: "This country held the most democratic polls that have never been seen in any other country in the West".

The observers, who represent the key bodies setting human rights standards for Europe and beyond, were scathing about the Turkish government's conduct during the campaign.
An unprecedented electoral board decision to accept as valid ballots that didn't bear the official stamp has led to outrage.
The bloc's election monitors have heavily questioned how the vote was run, and some European Union leaders are publicly anxious that the resulting reforms will turn Turkey into an undemocratic state. Official results are expected within 12 days.
Turkey's National Security Council has recommended extending the country's ongoing state of emergency, according to a statement following Monday evening's meeting, APA reports quoting Anadolu Agency. They found that the opposition campaign had been restricted and the media coverage was imbalanced, and that the electoral authority had unfairly changed the rules after polls had opened.
He also dismissed protesters as being the same people who protested during the Gezi Park clashes in 2013, saying the banging of pots and pans to protest was employed back then as well. "I am against one-man rule and dictators", explained another No voter. Meanwhile, two main opposition parties, the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) said they would challenge the result, alleging major violations.
Erdogan declared victory in Sunday's historic referendum that will grant sweeping powers to the presidency, hailing the result as a "historic decisio".
"Efforts to cast a shadow on the result of the vote by spreading rumors of fraud are futile and in vain", Yildirim said.
"This is why the only decision that will end debate about the legitimacy (of the vote) and ease the people's legal concerns is the annulment of this election", deputy party chairman Bulent Tezcan said.
The Turkish government has been widely condemned by Western nations for its repression of opposition figures following a failed military coup past year.
