Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made his first post on NEXT Sosyal on Monday.

In his first post on the Turkish social media platform NEXT Sosyal, Erdogan quoted poet Erdem Bayazit's poem Soon the Day Will Rise: "A flower sprouted between concrete walls."

“Are you ready?” Erdogan said.

In his post, the president also included the hashtag “We're starting,” along with emojis of the Turkish flag, the Earth, and a rocket.
