We arrived at the RON at 6:04 p.m. after another uneventful drive that took us through a more populous part of Ankara. Everything here is still so locked down, almost all of the motorcade onlookers were police.

We’ll hold here for a bit before heading back to the Bestepe Presidential Compound for the NATO Leaders’ Social Dinner.
