The first round of elections starts on May 14.The crisis started on Tuesday evening when Erdogan was being interviewed by several different journalists on pro-Ankara channels Ulke TV and Kanal 7.
Erdogan took to Twitter on Wednesday to thank his countrymen for their well wishes and reported that he would follow his doctors' advice to rest at home. He blamed his stomach illness on the vigor of his campaigning. "With God's permission, we will continue our program from tomorrow. We will continue to work to bring our beloved nation to the goals of the Century of Turkey," he added.
