Yep, the White Palace is larger than the White House, the Kremlin and Buckingham palace.

Yes but what you all fail to understand is that President Reg has earned, and indeed deserved this, from all the good work he has done in building up Turkey's good name across the globe

Plenty of bedrooms to hide shoe boxes in. It just goes to show that the presidential elections were rigged, as they started building this palace a couple of years ago, so Reg must have known he was going to win.

Obscene is an understatement........when people are going thru bins for their very existence.  A thousand rooms!!  you would need electric buggys to get around the place, still on the plus side, must create jobs for cleaners and maintenance staff lol.

Why did Gul not get a Presidential Palace, or all Gul's predecessors?

RTE really thinks he is a Turkish God.

The palace was originally built for the prime minister. When RTE became president, that changed and surprise surprise...it was for the president :p
