"We categorically reject such baseless claims regarding President @RTErdogan’s health. The President will attend tomorrow's nuclear power plant opening via videoconference," the Turkish presidency’s Communications Director, Fahrettin Altun, wrote on Twitter.

"No amount of disinformation can dispute the fact that the Turkish people stand with their leader and @RTErdogan and his AK Party are set to win the May 14 elections," Altun added.

The country's anti-disinformation center stated that claims circulated on certain social media platforms about Erdogan suffering from a heart attack and being hospitalized were untrue.

Meanwhile, Omer Celik, spokesperson for the Justice and Development (AK) Party, criticized foreign media outlets for publishing "immoral false news" about Erdogan's condition.

Celik affirmed that the president is currently on duty, and after taking a brief rest, he would resume his activities as usual.

He also expressed gratitude for the numerous messages of support and well-wishes received from across the globe. (ILKHA)
