Responding to Twitter invite,Turkish strongman joins students at Sehri
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan last week surprised a group of students with a rare gesture that one could expect least from a powerful leader that he is.
Reports are that the Turkish strongman was invited through a Twitter message by a student of Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University to join them for pre-dawn meal at their dormitory.
Turks call Ramazan's pre-dawn "Suhoor" while in Pakistan it is called Sehri.
The student named Gungor Atak wrote a message in Turkish language to the president: ""Dear President, could you perhaps be our guest at the Hüseyin Gazi dormitory and have suhoor together?
"I am coming if your tea is ready," the president responded.
In a later tweet, Erdogan posted a video of the meal he had with the students at the dormitory.
Excited to see the president, students welcomed Erdogan, chatted with him and posed for selfies.
