Devlet Bahceli, 75, leader of the Nationalist Action party, Erdogan's AK Party's partner in the presidential coalition, was speaking in Antalya at a final campaign rally. He wanted to say "shake" but it was the word "kiss", in its crudest form, that came out.

The video of the slip of the tongue of Mr.Bahceli immediately went viral on social networks. He is known for his slips of the tongues and colloquial speech, as well as his difficulty pronouncing sophisticated words.
