Erdogan performed the Friday prayer, which was led by the head of religious affairs Ali Erbas, at the Grand Çamlica Mosque in Istanbul.
After the prayer was over, the Çamlıca Mosque Endowment held a remembrance and supplication on the occasion of the completion of a thousand recitations of the Noble Qur’an with the intention of healing the Turkish president from the virus.
After leaving the prayer, he made a brief statement to the journalists who were waiting for him outside the mosque, for the first press interview since last Saturday, the day he announced his infection with the virus.
“I easily overcame the infection with corona, and of course the vaccines had a role in that,” Erdogan said, noting that he had received two doses of the “Sinovac” vaccine, and 3 doses of “Biontec”.
