President Gül has visited Ankara’s Ulucanlar prison which sees tortures before it was converted into a museum.
Speaking on the issue of the recent debate about presidential candidacy in the next election, Turkish President Abdullah Gül has said there are still two more years before the presidential election, and when the time comes, he and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will discuss the issue. “We all have to do our job well. When the day comes, we will sit together and decide to do what is best. We are now obligated to do our job in the best way possible. There is still a long time ahead of us,” Gül said Aug. 4, elaborating on a proxy debate that was sparked by recent remarks from his senior adviser Ahmet Sever. There are more important things for both he and Erdoğan to do inside and outside Turkey.
