The first lady of Turkey did not allow Macron to kiss her hand

During the official welcoming ceremony on the sidelines of the NATO summit, the French president tried to kiss Emine Erdogan's hand, but his gesture was stopped. The wife of the Turkish leader politely but persistently intercepted his wrist, preventing him from completing the action.

The Erdoans welcomed the Macrons to Turkey on Tuesday as they prepared to kick off a two-day summit at a turning point in the organization's history.
