“This news is not true. Every year at this time, as a rule, our president is on vacation, ”said Aktay.

He added that the absence of Erdogan during this period creates a "favorable background for such speculations."

Also, the adviser to Erdogan said that in the Arab social networks, in which there were rumors about the death of the President of Turkey, there are “armies of trolls”.

Earlier, Iranian media reported that the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency of the IAEA, Yukiya Amano, could have been killed.
