In this room there were chairs for the presidents of both the countries. Putin stands in front of his chair and waits for Erdoan. This 50-second wait weighed heavily on Putin. During this he was very uncomfortable, he stood up with his hands tied. In these few seconds, sometimes he was looking at the chairs and sometimes the floor. During this, he was not standing still but was moving a lot and was shaking his mouth.
It can be seen in the video that as soon as Erdogan entered the room, Putin raised both his hands and heaved a sigh of relief.
Erdogan, smiling at Putin and shaking hands warmly, said, Hello, how are you, well?
Why is there a commotion?
In fact, Putin is known to make global leaders wait before official meetings. He has made some leaders wait for several hours on several occasions.
Turkish media fear that this may be a revenge for the incident in Moscow in 2020. At that time, Putin made Erdoan wait for about two minutes before a meeting. Many things have changed in Iran in 2022.
A Turkish website T24 questioned in the headline of this news, was it changed?
This 50-second video viral on social media is also telling how much has changed after the Ukraine war.
It’s also a sweet payback for Erdogan who in 2020 was humiliated by Putin as he made him wait 2 minutes in a power game play in Russia.
