The marketing ploy mimics in many ways the appearance of two moons in the skies over Dubai last week - a promotional event tied to the UAE's first mission to Mars. Mr Erdogan said: "I now present to you Turkey's 10-year vision, strategy and aims and I say: 'look at the sky, you will see the Moon.'" The first monolith to spark the craze appeared in Utah last November.
