    Turkey: Erdogan sworn in as president

    15:43 * 28.08.14


    Recep Tayyip Erdogan has taken the oath of office as Turkey's first
    popularly elected president, a position that will keep him in the
    nation's driving seat for at least another five years, AP reports.

    Erdogan is scheduled to appoint Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, his
    designated successor as prime minster and loyal ally, to form a new
    government later on Thursday.

    Erdogan has dominated Turkish politics for a decade and won Turkey's
    first direct presidential elections on Aug. 10. He has indicated he
    wants to transform the presidency from a largely ceremonial post into
    a more powerful position and his expected to hold sway in the
    country's running.
