Segolene Royal Interview
Antonio D'Amico Interview
Tribute to the assassinated former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto by Daphne, December 2008
When Daphne was in Turkey to interview Tansu Ciller he has asked her to interview him as well.
Because of a conflict of schedule, Daphne couldn't. Erdogan sent her a gracious letter, which won her respect!
Ever since - they have been playing this ping pong... Erdogan teasing Daphne: "Wow, in my country - you are more famous than I am... Let's do an interview!"
Daphne answering: "Would love to. But would love to include your wife!"
Erdogan - preferring to go solo, Daphne prefers to interview the duo.
This ongoing exchange has been accompanied with a sense of humour and mutual respect.
Daphne and Turkish PM Erdogan are going way back...
