Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was rushed to hospital after suffering a drop in blood sugar. Now he is in a stable condition, officials said. Local TV media reported that the premier was taken to hospital after he had difficulty pushing open a car door, and that his security guards had to break a window to let him out. Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said Erdogan's sudden illness was caused by a mix of intense work and fasting for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. "There's no cause for alarm. Everything is under control," Gul said. Erdogan had been due to address his ruling Justice and Development Party (AK), but the meeting has been cancelled.
