The poem written by senior Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood politician Mohammed al-Baltagy following the death of his 17-yr-old daughter during the protests in Cairo, provoked an emotional response from Turkey's prime minister on television last night.
Despite his strongman image Recep Tayyip Erdogan is known to be an emotional man, and the poem left him speechless, and tearful.
"Once, my daughter asked me to spend one night at home with her but I was working hard and could not spare time for her...I saw my own children in al-Baltagy's letter," he said.
In 2010 Erdogan cried at the deaths of children in Gaza, at which time there was some comment in Turkey about why he did not do the same when Kurdish children were killed.
