Following widespread rumors of Turkish president Rediep Tayyip Erdogan dying circulated social media, many are convinced that the Turkish premier is dead. This is compounded by the fact that Erdogan has not made any public appearances since the rumor began on Monday.
This also begs the question: If Erdogan isn’t dead, where is he? According to one source, he’s “resting”.
Balamir Göktuğ, a writer for the Turkish newspaper Günboyu, said on Tuesday that he inquired his sources at the Presidential Palace regarding Erdoğan’s whereabouts. He also asked if he was on vacation. However, he did not receive a clear response. The journalist added that Erdoğan postponed a meeting with bankers this week.
Abdülkadir Selvi, a writer with the Hürriyet newspaper is known for having a close relationship with Erdoğan. He said on Wednesday that the Turkish president was “resting”. He did add however that Erdogan would commence a meeting with heads of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) on Friday.
Selvi noted that the meeting was “critical”. That’s because the Turkish president was insinuating a new party strategy. Selvi said Erdoğan plan to make changes to his cabinet as well as the paradigm of the AKP. After that, he plans on launching a new tour of the country.
Erdogan allegedly sent a congratulatory tweet to newly appointed Prime Minister of Britain Boris Johnson on Wednesday despite reports that Twitter was blocked in Turkey.
Turkish NBA player Enes Kanter roasted the rumors of Erdogan’s death tweeting: “Erdogan can’t have a heart attack because he doesn’t have a heart”.
Not wrong at all. 94% of the civilized world is hoping the very same thing. He is/was a regional troublemaker.
I could see that years ago. In May of 2010, there was a flotilla of Palestinians intending to breach the legal blockade of Gaza. If I recall correctly, Erdogan was a big supporter of the Palestinian effort, even authorizing Turkish activists to join the flotilla.
“E-Dog” is also suspected of staging his own attempted coup some years ago. This provided him another excuse to jail and torture any dissenters of great influence.

Niiiiiice. Hope he has good insurance.
Inigo Montoya : He’s dead. He can’t talk.
Miracle Max : Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there’s usually only one thing you can do.
Inigo Montoya : What’s that?
Miracle Max : Go through his clothes and look for loose change.
They said he was in Ankara but he was really in Istanbul. It was a pun. No, no...not a pun... What’s that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards? A palindrome!
So funny you mention that scene. I can’t help but seeing new UK Prime Minister as the Albino Executioner. lol
He’s at a weekend with his friend Bernie.
So is Lenin and Stalin.
Don’t bring him here in the US!! The Turkish Ambassador has bodyguards that are known to threaten, tackle and harass people while visiting in the United States.
They don’t know how to act in American society and they don’t want to know. There is a pro. basketball player of Turkish descent who is in trouble with the Turkish govt. because he has been openly critical of Erdogan. His name is Enes Kanter, who has called E-Dog ‘The Hitler of our century!”
The Turks could replace him with a slug.
