Deniz Baykal, the former leader of Turkey’s main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) and current MP, has returned to Ankara from Germany, where he was receiving medical treatment following a stroke he suffered in October 2017.
Baykal had a stroke on Oct. 16, 2017 in Ankara after a blood clot in a major artery going to his brain.
He received intensive care for 51 days in Ankara’s İbn-i Sina Hospital, after which he traveled to Munich for medical treatment in December.
Baykal’s treatment was completed in Munich and he arrived in Ankara on March 20 in a private jet provided by the Health Ministry. His treatment will now continue at the Turkish capital’s Gülhane Hospital.
