Turkish FM: Burkina Faso FM in good condition

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Burkina Faso's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Cooperation Djibrill Yipene Bassole was in good condition after Bassole fainted during a joint press conference with Davutoglu in Ankara on Thursday. "You were following the conference live; I was under the impression that he became unwell during the Q&A session but I thought it was due to a problem in translation. Then the minister fainted. Afterwards we came to hospital," Davutoglu told reporters when leaving the Ataturk Hospital. The minister said Minister Bassole's illness was temporary and he was thoroughly examined. "Since he is our guest in Turkey, we will not let him leave until we are sure of his health. We will continue to entertain him here. The doctors said there was nothing to worry about," he said. While at hospital, Davutoglu also underwent an x-ray examination of his knee which he bruised when trying to prevent his counterpart from falling down. Bassole will stay in Turkey for the next two days. Next week on Tuesday, he and Davutoglu will attend an Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) meeting in Jeddah.
