Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (1954) 12th President of Turkey from 2014
As quoted in "Erdoğan: Twitter denilen bir bela var" http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/id/25446690/, NTV (June 2, 2013)
It's social media. It gets out. I have, you know, hundreds of millions of people. Number one on Facebook. Did you know I was number one on Facebook? I mean, I just found out I'm number one on Facebook. I thought that was very nice for whatever it means. No, it represents something. And when I can explain to people: Just don't do it. You know, it's going to be bad if you do it. It's going to be really bad. And they don't need to do it. They have enough problems. Iran has enough problems without doing that. But we’ve been pulling back very substantially over the last year, in Iraq. And so, you know, that's the way it is.
