The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is seen slowly closing his eyes, obviously tired and overwhelmed, during an interview he gave ahead of the second round of the Turkish elections.

As the presenter asks him a question, the camera captures the Turkish president almost asleep and with great difficulty keeping his eyes open during the cross-channel interview on A Haber and ATV TV stations.

But as soon as she sees the Turkish president in this state, she looks worriedly at her colleague and gives him the floor.

The scene sparked fresh speculation about his health, just days after he collapsed during another live TV interview.
