Turkish President Kept His Word
In 1998, when Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was serving as mayor of Istanbul, a student asked him during the “32nd Day” program: “If you become president, in which language will you speak with other countries’ prime ministers?” Erdoğan replied briefly: “In Turkish.” Years later, as host of the 36th NATO Summit, President Erdoğan delivered his opening speech in Turkish. In this way, he practically fulfilled the promise he made back then.
