After falling ill during a live television interview last night, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan canceled three campaign speeches and will rest at home on the advice of his doctors.
While aides to Erdogan, 69, dismissed the health issue as minor, the incident comes ahead of an election when even his most ardent loyalists are contemplating a future without him for the first time in 20 years.
