Turkey President Erdogan 'talks man out of suicide'

• 25 December 2015

Local media claim the man had contemplated suicide because of 'family problems'.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan talked a man out of jumping off a bridge in Istanbul, his office says.

The man had climbed over a railing on the Bosphorus bridge linking Europe with Asia and was threatening to kill himself.

Mr Erdogan's motorcade was crossing the bridge at the time.

Television pictures showed Mr Erdogan's staff asking the sobbing man to talk to the president. After a few moments, he was escorted to safety.

The man was suffering depression due to family problems, and police had been trying to prevent him from jumping for some two hours, the Dogan news agency reported.

Mr Erdogan does not leave his car, and he speaks to the man with his mobile phone pressed to his ear.

An official from the president's office told Associated Press news agency he had promised to help him.

1. 한 남자가 가정문제로 우울증 비슷하게 앓고 있던 중 다리에서 뛰어내려 자살하려던 것을 경찰이 말리던 찰라, 터키의 대통령 차량이 지나다 보고, 수행원들을 보내 그 사람으로 하여금 대통령에게 직접 고민을 상담하게 했다는 내용이다.

2. 터키 대통령에게서 인간에 대한 연민을 갖고 있는 대통령의 모습을 느끼며, 남성보다 훨씬 감수성이 뛰어나고 촉이 발달했다는 여성들 가운데 남의 고통이나 어려움에 둔감한 고집불통의 실례가 떠올라 씁쓸음하다. 여성도 여성 나름이고, 남성도 남성 나름이다. 엄밀히 말하면, 남녀의 성별차이 이전에, 인간됨의 문제인 것이다.
