Turkey's Transport and Infrastructure Minister has been removed from his post by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, according to a decree published on the Official Gazette early on March 28.
Cahit Turhan has been replaced by his deputy, Adil Karaismailoğlu, the decree said.
It did not provide a reason for the change or any further details.
A spokesman for the ministry confirmed the move, but did not provide details, according to Reuters.
Turhan, a former head of Turkey's Railroads Directorate and chief adviser to the president, was appointed minister by Erdoğan in July 2018.
