Who is this man?


And why does his face keep showing up everywhere? 

A prominent bank here in Turkey is using this likeness in their latest ad campaign. The print ads are virtually indistinguishable from the man himself. I would imagine there are White House interns scrambling for a Turkish interpreter to issue a cease and desist order as we speak. The television spots are humorous with long-distance shots of the man at podium and the few close-ups only capturing the brow and eyes of the impostor. 

I'd post a link to the ad but the authorities here have blocked You Tube. One can only imagine the instability fomented by the Turks learning how to launch a two-liter bottle of Diet Coke stuffed with Mentos -the fresh maker!
