Erdogan, Responding to Twitter Invite, Joins Students for Pre-Dawn Meal in Ankara
  • 6 years ago

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan surprised Ankara student Gungor Atak by responding to his Twitter invite to join him and his fellow students for their pre-dawn meal on Friday, June 1.“Dear President, could you perhaps be our guest at the Huseyin Gazi dormitory and have suhoor together?” the student asked. Erdogan responded, saying he would come if the “tea was ready.”Erdogan is currently campaigning to secure his second term as president. Turkish voters narrowly passed a constitutional amendment in 2017 to change the presidency from a ceremonial office to an executive role, a law that will come into effect after the June 24 election.
