Turkey's Erdogan replaces justice minister
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan named Bekir Bozdag, a member of his ruling AK Party, as Justice Minister, Reuters reported on Saturday, citing the Official Gazette.
It said former Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul had resigned, but did not give a reason.
Bozdag, 56, had served as justice minister under Erdogan between 2013-2015 and 2015-2017, before being a deputy prime minister until 2018, when the role was abolished as part of constitutional changes that gave Erdogan sweeping executive powers.
"I thank our President Mr Tayyip Erdogan for entrusting the post of Justice Minister to me... May God help us," Bozdag said on Twitter on Saturday.
