Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accompanied by Hungarian President Janos Ader, walks past his palace guard in Ankara on March 12, 2015. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, right, meets with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras during the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul this week. Last year, the newly elected prime minister indicated that he would don a necktie only when Greece's debt problem was resolved.
