Turkish leader taken in by a gift, currently (2,7)
I believe the answer is:
at present
'currently' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'turkish leader taken in by a gift' is the wordplay.
'leader' suggests taking the first letters.
'taken in by' indicates putting letters inside.
'gift' becomes 'present' (present is a kind of gift).
The initial letter of 'turkish' is 't'.
'a'+'present'='apresent'
't' put within 'apresent' is 'AT PRESENT'.
(Other definitions for at present that I've seen before include "As of now, during this time" , "Nowadays" , "these days" , "Currently, right now" , "temporarily" .)
