Baku, Azerbaijan, Sept.7

By Rufiz Hafizoglu - Trend:

Staff changes have been announced in Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO) and Petroleum Pipeline Corporation (BOTAS), said the website of the Resmi Gazete newspaper.

The board member of TPAO Selami Incedal and deputy general manager of BOTAS Asim Kafkas have been dismissed, according to the website.

No information has been provided about the reason of the dismissals and new appointments.

TPAO was established in 1954, while BOTAS was founded in 1974.

It was earlier reported that staff changes are expected in Turkey’s state companies after the military coup attempt in the country.

On July 15 evening, Turkish authorities said a military coup attempt took place in the country. Meanwhile, a group of servicemen announced about transition of power to them. However, the rebelling servicemen started to surrender July 16 and Turkish authorities said the coup attempt failed.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had said the death toll as a result of the military coup attempt stood at 246, excluding the coup plotters, and over 2,000 people were wounded.

Erdogan declared a three-month state of emergency in Turkey on July 20.
