TURKEY-POLITICS-PALACE
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan waits to greet guests inside the new Ak Saray presidential palace (White Palace) on the outskirts of Ankara on October 29, 2014 before hosting a reception marking Turkey's annual republic day which celebrates the foundation of modern Turkey in 1923. Erdogan unveiled his new presidential palace on the outskirts of Ankara, denounced by ecologists as an environmental blight and by the opposition as new evidence of his autocratic tendencies. An immense project built at a reported cost of $350 million, it has an area of 200,000 square metres, 1,000 rooms and architecture that is supposed to marry modernism and the traditions of the mediaeval Seljuk dynasty.
