Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan cut short his visit to Romania and is returning home, Hurriyet newspaper reported on Apr.1.
Turkish president was to return from Romania tonight, according to the report.
Reportedly, it is not ruled out that Erdogan cut short the visit due to the latest terrorist acts in Turkey. The country has encountered two terrorist acts in two recent days.
