Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan slapped a little boy who did not kiss his hand during an official ceremony. This was reported by UNN with reference to Halk.
Details
The incident occurred the day before, during the opening ceremony of the Aider Plateau Protection and Renewal Project, a province-wide urban transformation and turnkey disaster housing project.
A video has been posted online showing Erdogan handing the family the keys to their new home after the speech. Two of the family's children were the first to take the stage.
The president stretched out his hand for them to kiss it, but one of the boys did not. In response, Erdogan slapped him. After that, the child kissed his palm, and the Turkish leader, according to media reports, gave both children pocket money.
Addendum
However, this is not the first time that footage of Erdogan beating children has been posted online.
Earlier , the president visited his family's neighbors in Rize. There he slapped a child who wanted him to sign a T-shirt of the Turkish national team.
In addition, a similar incident occurred in 2021 at the opening of the Salarkha Tunnel in Rize, when Erdogan knocked on the boy's head.
Also last year, he publicly slapped his grandson, but said he "stroked him"
