Various reports about the deterioration of the health of the leader of Turkey spread on social networks. The situation was denied by the Communications Directorate within the Anti-Disinformation Center of Turkey. This was reported based on the center's information by the “Sozcu” publication.
It was noted that on social networks, especially YouTube channels, there were reports about the President's health not being well.
“Through a channel on YouTube, baseless claims related to our President’s health were put forward. These claims are not only false but also target the Presidential institution and contain derogatory content,” says the official statement.
Additionally, it is mentioned that Erdogan's condition is good and he continues to fulfill his duties.
“Our President, as the leader of the state of Turkey, is diligently performing his constitutional duties and obligations, serving our people with dedication,” the center's statement declares.
Furthermore, the Anti-Disinformation Center has also stated that Erdogan's health and memory are in good condition, and that he is making decisions in a vigorous state.
“State leaders, politicians, and other official persons witness President Erdogan's deep understanding of issues, strong memory, and ability to make firm decisions. Those spreading false news on social networks, bypassing responsibility and caution against journalistic principles, are only making a fool of themselves,” the official report says.
