Transport and economy ministers replaced in the TRNC government: Sucuoglu and Tachoğlu appointed
Changes in the government of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus have taken effect: the decrees on the reshuffle were published in the Official Gazette. Faiz Sucuoglu, a parliamentarian from Lefkoşa, has replaced Erhan Arıklı as minister of public works and transport, while Hasan Taçoy has replaced Olgun Amcaoğlu as minister of economy and energy. Both new ministers represent the National Unity Party (UBP).
Prime Minister Ünal Üstel announced the changes on 11 September, and the appointment decrees were signed by TRNC President Tufan Erhürman.
The prime minister explained the replacement of the transport minister by the sinking of a vessel off Girne on 30 August. According to Üstel, Arıklı was relieved of his post so that the police and the courts could conduct the investigation without leaving room for doubt.
Faiz Sucuoglu previously served as prime minister of the TRNC.
After the disaster, sailings by the company whose vessel sank off Girne were suspended, while trucks and containers piled up on the Mersin–Famagusta ferry route.
