I embrace each of you with affection."
HE SHOWED CLOSE INTEREST IN CHILDREN

"WE HAVE A SAKURA HOSPITAL TOO"

Upon this, Erdoğan said, "We have a Sakura hospital too, have you seen them? We have our Çam Sakura hospital in Istanbul. Before Abe passed away, he sent us sakura. We planted pine next to it; you must see it."
THERE ARE THOSE WHO SING AND THOSE WHO RIDE BIKES
