Erdogan faints during morning prayers in Istanbul
Istanbul - Arab Today
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday said he was in good health after briefly feeling unwell during morning prayers in Istanbul, the Daily Mail reported.
Erdogan received medical attention after "briefly feeling unwell" during morning prayers at the Mimar Sinan mosque in Istanbul.
Some Turkish media reports said he had briefly fainted inside the mosque, although this was not immediately confirmed.
Erdogan said he had suffered from a blood pressure issue due to a sugar imbalance in the body.
"Thanks to God I recovered quickly. Now I am feeling good and we will continue with our programme," he said.
Erdogan said that in the afternoon he would be attending a ceremony in Istanbul of his ruling party to mark the festival celebrating the end of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
Muslims for the past month have been required to abstain from eating and drinking between sunrise and sunset.
Erdogan, 63, has been in power since 2003, first as prime minister and since 2014 as Turkey's first directly elected president.
