Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan appeared for the first time after his illness in person today, Saturday, at the Technofest exhibition at Istanbul Ataturk Airport.
A video clip broadcast by the Turkish President on his Twitter account showed Erdogan speaking in the presence of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid al-Dabaiba.

Erdogan, 69, was infected with an intestinal virus, which prompted him to temporarily suspend his campaign for 3 days, which raised questions about his health two weeks before the presidential elections scheduled for May 14.
The Turkish president temporarily suspended his election campaign due to a health problem, last Tuesday evening, and an interview that Erdogan was giving directly to local television channels in the evening was suddenly stopped, due to a health problem that he suffered.
After the sudden cessation of the live broadcast, Erdogan returned to the air, and said, “I wish you health. Yesterday and today there was a lot of campaign work, so I got gastritis, and I even thought of canceling the programme, but we came back. I apologize to you and our viewers,” he said, then answered a few more questions before the interview ended.
