Head of the Turkish petrochemical complex Petkim, whose co-owner is SOCAR (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan) Kenan Yavuz Dogan is replaced by Dogan Chirakolgu, the company said.
Yavuz have already handed over the petrochemical complex to Chirakoglu.
A source in Petkim said that the net profit of petrochemical complex in the first nine months amounted to $65 million.

Formerly the Turkish Administration for Privatization approved the alliance Socar/Turcas Petrol/Injaz Projects as the winner of the tender on the sale of the 51% share of Turkish Petrochemical Holding Petkim. Turkey currently imports 70-75% of the necessary chemical products, but developing Petkim, the investment by alliance SOCAR/Turcas/Injaz will provide an opportunity to decrease the import up to 30%.
Petkim Petrokimya Holding is specialized in the production of plastic packages, fabric, detergents and is only producer of these goods in Turkey exporting the fourth part of the output.
