The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced (today) on Wednesday cancelled his scheduled election campaign rallies on due to a “minor sickness.”
“I will rest at home today as our doctors advised,’’ Erdoğan wrote on Twitter, citing health problems he suffered a day before.
Erdogan said he will resume the campaign (tomorrow) on Thursday.
The president was scheduled to attend campaign speeches in three separate central Anatolian provinces on Wednesday.
Late on Tuesday, Erdogan had to briefly cut a live television interview after he suffered what he later described as stomach upset.
The Kanal 7 station cut broadcasting after Erdoğan, off camera, failed to respond to a question on his election promises.
Some muffled voices were heard from the microphone, but the cameras did not show Erdoğan.
The interviewer stood up while a concerned voice was heard saying “Oh no!” in the background.
It was not immediately clear how serious the president’s health issue was.
The 69-year-old later returned to finalize the interview, where he said an intense election campaign led to some “serious” stomach troubles,an ailing Erdoğan said he considered cancelling the interview ahead of time.
