Turkey now has two presidents (on Twitter)
Turkey now has two presidents, at least on Twitter.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan, who was elected as president in the first round of elections on Aug. 10, has updated his Twitter bio to describe himself as âPresident of the Republic of Turkey,â and also tweeted to thank âthe beloved nationâ for electing him.
Meanwhile, President Abdullah Gül, who will not leave his office until Aug. 28, has yet to change his bio on Twitter, and even his Twitter handle, @cbabdullahgul, still makes a direct reference to his title as president, âcb.â
President-elect ErdoÄan needs to wait two more weeks before officially starting his new job, so it seems that Turkey will have two presidents on Twitter until Aug. 28.
