DAVUTOGLU LIKELY TO BE TURKEY'S NEXT PM: PRESIDENT GUL
10:00 â~@¢ 20.08.14
Turkey's outgoing President Abdullah Gul has become the highest level
official who named Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as Turkey's next
prime minister, Hurriyet Daily News reports.
"As far as it seems, our foreign minister Ahmet Bey will take over
(the prime ministry). You know that it's me who took him to the
politics and to the state life. I had appointed him as an ambassador,"
Gul told the Ankara bureau chiefs of Turkish newspapers late Aug 19
on the sidelines of his last farewell reception.
President-elect Recep Tayyip Erdogan is yet to conclude his
consultations with his party officials before officially announcing
who will succeed him as the chairman and the prime minister. Gul's
announcement came two days before the AKP convenes its Central
Executive Board to give the final decision on the issue.
Davutoglu was first appointed as the chief foreign policy advisor of
Gul in his short prime ministry in early 2003. He continued to serve
as advisor to both Erdogan and Gul until 2009 when he was appointed
as the foreign minister. Davutoglu was elected to the Parliament in
2011 elections.
