Turkey: Erdogan's high-pitch speech has to be heard!

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan surprised thousands of supporters in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir Thursday by speaking in an unfamiliar high-pitch or falsetto voice. The Justice and Development Party (AK Party) leader was forced to apologise about his voice, which resembled that of a person under "laughing gas." He did, however, manage to deliver his speech in full.

The exact reasons for Erdogan's unfamiliar voice are unknown, yet Turkey's AK party is under increasing domestic pressure and scrutiny. Thursday's address is also considered to be one of the most important before local on March 30.
