    An "epic mistake" saw a NATO country dramatically declar war on a surprised Vladimir Putin during a summit after a translator made a clanger.<\/p>\n

    Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan was reciting opening remarks at a summit in Sochi when the official interpreter cocked up and said there was a war between Turkey and Russia.<\/p>\n

    The Russian dictator appeared momentarily nonplussed as the interpreter translated the president's words. \u201cThere is war between Russia and Turkey,\u201d announced the Turkish-Russian translation of Erdo\u011fan's remarks.<\/p>\n

    It was unclear if the male interpreter was Russian or Turkish.<\/p>\n

    The official record of Erdogan\u2019s remarks show that he did not make the mistake – it was the interpreter\u2019s.<\/p>\n
