The aftermath of the failed coup in Turkey has led to surprising actions from the Turkish president, mostly in the way of a government purge, and now a more interesting one: receiving and giving a wedding gift to a newly-wed couple in presidential palace.
In a quirkier move, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan decided to host a newly-wed Turkish couple after they were reportedly demonstrating against the coup in front of the presidential palace in the capital city Ankara.
Once inside, he shook hands and gave a kiss on the cheek to the delighted bride and groom before standing in front of the cameras for a brief photo-shoot, Al Bawaba reported.
In a video released by the Turkish TvNet, Erdogan can be seen putting a golden bracelet on the wrist of the bride before walking a bit and laughing with the newly-weds.
This is not the only story of married couples distinguishing themselves during the coup. Another couple in the city of Yaladagi turned their wedding party into a large outdoor demonstration against the coup as it was happening.
