ANKARA (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan named a prominent member of Turkey s ruling AK Party, Mehmet Mus, as trade minister on Wednesday and split another ministry into two, in what officials said was the first move in an expected broader cabinet shuffle.
In a presidential decree Ruhsar Pekcan, the cabinet s highest-profile woman, was replaced as trade minister by Mus, who is close to former finance minister and Erdogan s son-in-law Berat Albayrak, a divisive party figure.
