ISTANBUL — Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government came under fresh attacks yesterday that it is harbouring Islamist ambitions after a failed attempt to appoint an Islamic capital expert to the crucial post of central bank governor.
The row broke at the weekend after the government announced that President Ahmet Necdet Sezer, a staunch secularist often at odds with the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), had vetoed the cabinet’s nominee to head the Central Bank over the next five years."
