It seems that cheerleader girls are not allowed to perform in front of Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

This has been recently seen when the Ukrainian dance group Khimki Girls were not allowed to perform as per their schedules for the Performances Sunday night because Mr. Erdoğan and his wife was present to see the FIBA 2010 World Basketball Championship match between Turkey and Russia at the Ankara Arena.

The four Turkish cities, Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir and Kayseri, would be hosting the matches for the FIBA 2010 World Basketball Championship which is the main event of the year.
