Erdogan postpones trips due to health issues

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had to cancel scheduled trips to several cities on Wednesday, citing doctors’ advice. This comes after he had to cut short a TV interview on Tuesday due to stomach problems. He also stated that he was not able to participate in events scheduled to be held in three cities on Wednesday, saying that Vice President Fuat Oktay would be there instead. Erdogan promised to return to his normal schedule on Thursday. On Tuesday, Erdogan had to leave an interview being held jointly with Ulke TV and Kanal 7 shortly after it started and apologized for having to cancel the program.
