Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has canceled all his meetings for the rest of the week due to health concerns.
“I am resting at home on the advice of my doctors. God willing, I’ll continue working tomorrow,” he wrote on Twitter earlier today.
But later in the day, his AKP party announced that the president had also canceled Thursday’s commitments.
Then he would, among other things, inaugurate Turkey’s first nuclear power plant, writes TT.
Yesterday, Erdogan suddenly had to cancel a live television interview, saying it was due to stomach flu.
Erdogan is in the midst of intense campaigning ahead of Turkey’s May 14 election.

Appealing Estonia judgment to HD
In March, journalist Henrik Evertsson and underwater expert Linus Andersson were sentenced in the Court of Appeal to 80 days’ fines.
This for having violated the grave peace at the Estonia wreck by filming it.
Now Evertsson is appealing the verdict to the Supreme Court, reports Today’s Law.
In the appeal, he argues that the so-called “Estonian law” does not apply to the German boat that the team used.
He also believes that the peace of the grave has not actually been disturbed and that there is a very large public interest.
In September 2019, Evertsson led a documentary team that filmed the Estonia wreck on the bottom of the Baltic Sea using a diving robot.
The video footage revealed a previously unknown hole in Estonia’s hull, which was shown in the acclaimed TV series “Estonia – the discovery that changes everything”.

Regarding spies, how many do we have in Europe, all countries have spies, I think it is foolish to say that you and those countries have so and so many spies, then all countries have them.

Hi Tan! Don’t understand the criticism. Shouldn’t we report on what it looks like in our area because it exists in all countries? Sounds a bit strange I think.
Is it some Russian hacker attack that knocked out Forsmark?
