Erdoğan’s Translator’s Epic Mistake: He Called Kyriakos Mitsotakis… Constantine

During a statement by the two leaders at the Maximos Palace, the Turkish president’s interpreter, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, abused Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Indeed, when the Greek Prime Minister finished his own statements and the President of Turkey took the stage, Mr. Erdogan began by thanking Kyriakos Mitsotakis for inviting him to Athens.

However, the Turkish president’s interpreter appeared confused, calling Kyriakos Mitsotakis his father and former prime minister Konstantinos Mitsotakis.

Messages of cooperation and peace

As for the rest, another mistake was not made, and Erdogan’s statements continued as usual, the President of Turkey expressed his satisfaction, “with the announcement”, as he emphasized, “our desire for the development of our relations has been confirmed”.

“This meeting should be held once a year,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan said of the Supreme Cooperation Council, adding, “We want to improve our tourism relations. We exchanged views on the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean. We will solve problems through joint efforts.”

At the end of his statements, the Turkish President invited Kyriakos Mitsotakis to visit Ankara, where he would be happy to host him as he mentioned.
