The Turkish President recently did something that angered a lot of people. Apparently, Erdoğan recently put a ‘slap’ on a child’s face for allegedly not kissing his hand.

In Turkish culture, kissing an elder’s hand is considered a gesture of respect, and it appears that Erdoğan wasn’t having any of that disrespect.

“I didn’t know will smith was president of turkey,” one fan said of the situation.

“No, that’s not accurate. In our culture, shaking hands with the left hand is considered immoral. He asked for his right hand, and it is perfectly normal in our culture to lightly tap or slap a child to correct their mistake,” another fan commented.
