Resuming the interview, Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan apologized to the audience and said that he is feeling a little better now. There is severe pain in the stomach for a few days and the activities are also high.
Tayyab Erdogan further said that even the start of the interview was delayed by 90 minutes due to stomach pain and colleagues advised to cancel the interview but I did not consider it appropriate as millions of people were waiting for me.
During the interview, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan appeared tired and had tears in his eyes, possibly due to an upset stomach.
After this interview, in his tweet, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan thanked those who sent good wishes and prayers and said that he is currently suspending his election campaign on the doctor’s instructions.
Yoğun mesaim sebebiyle yayın esnasında geçirdiğim küçük rahatsızlıktan ötürü geçmiş olsun dileklerini ileten, dualarını eksik etmeyen necip milletimin her bir ferdine, her bir kardeşime çok çok teşekkür ediyorum.…

President Tayyip Erdogan further wrote that today’s engagements have been suspended, today I will not be able to meet my brothers, sisters and friends whom I was supposed to address in the rally, but I will resume the election campaign from Thursday.
It should be remembered that parliamentary and presidential elections will be held in Turkey in the middle of May, for which the election campaign is going on vigorously. President Tayyip Erdogan’s party has been in power for the past 20 years in one form or another.
However, this time in the presidential election, the opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu is his competitor and there is a possibility of Kante’s contest.
