1,150 policemen stand guard at Turkey's presidential palace

A total of 1,150 policemen stand guard at Turkey's newly built 1,150-room presidential palace, which has caused debates with its humongous size and cost.

Some 50 million Turkish Liras were spent on the high-tech security system of the palace, which is frequently praised by President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, according to sources.
