Erdogan Fires Trade Minister in Cabinet Reshuffle
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT]  ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...fired the country's trade minister Wednesday following allegations that her husband’s company received a tender to sell disinfectants to the ministry. In a mini Cabinet reshuffle, Erdogan also split the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Services into two and appointed new ministers to lead them, according to a decree published in the Official Gazette. The president named Mehmet Mus, a prominent ruling party politician, as trade minister to replace Ruhsar Pekcan, according to the decree. According to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named, Pekcan's firing came after Oda TV news website reported that her husband’s company was chosen for the procurement of thousands of liters of disinfectants, allegedly worth 9 million Zehra Zumrut Selcuk, the former minister for family affairs, labor and social security, was replaced by lawyer Derya Yanik as minister for family affairs and by Vedat Bilgin — an advisor to Erdogan — as minister for labor and social security.
