Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his wife Emine Erdoğan attended a fast-breaking dinner hosted by a Turkish family in violation of newly tightened coronavirus restrictions recently announced by the president himself for the holy month of Ramadan.
The president and his wife on Wednesday were guests at a traditional iftar dinner hosted by a family living in Ankara’s Mamak district, according to a report by the state-run Anadolu news agency.
Photos of the event posted on the official Twitter account of the Turkish Presidency on Wednesday showed three traditional floor tables with Erdoğan and his wife seated around one of them and four members of the family hosting the dinner sharing the other two.
