Turkey’s Erdogan refuses minister’s resignation over pandemic response
Monday, 13th April 2020
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday rejected the resignation of his interior minister over his approach of an abrupt nationwide lockdown that led to panic buying.
Suleyman Soylu’s resignation had not been accepted, said a statement from Erdogan. “He is going to proceed to carry out his functions,” he added.
Soylu came in for intense criticism after a 48-hour nationwide shutdown to counter the spread of the coronavirus was announced on Friday night with just two hours’ notice, sparking panic-buying.
