President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan marked International Women's Day on Wednesday by handing out carnations to the female staff at the Presidential Palace.

Congratulating their day, Erdoğan posed for a photograph with all the female staff, from waitresses to cleaners, working at the palace.

The president also posted a tweet in Turkish, English, Arabic, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Farsi, Bosnian, Albanian, Urdu and Malay to congratulate the women of the world and Turkey for their day.
