Erdogan Denies Offer to Maduro to Move to Turkey

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan categorically denied claims that an offer was made to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to move to Turkey.

Erdogan stated that he had received no such information and that Turkey had no official briefing or involvement in the matter.
