Devlet Bahçeli discharged from hospital

Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli was discharged from an Ankara hospital today after being admitted for fever caused by a respiratory infection.

"I visited Mr. Devlet Bahçeli. He will be discharged in a little while. There is no situation that requires him to stay in hospital. His treatment will continue at home," Turkey’s Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said.

While some social media accounts claimed that Bahçeli was having a cardiovascular problem or cerebral hemorrhage, Semih Yalçın, deputy leader of the MHP, made the first statement, saying his condition is “great and perfect.”

The MHP leader’s principal clerk announced that Bahçeli was hospitalized due to a fever caused by a respiratory infection.
