Erdoğan did not want to make Hafize Gaye Erkan a 'victim'! Here is the behind-the-scenes of the 'dismissal'...

Hafize Gaye Erkan, Governor of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (TCMB), whose family has been the subject of persistent allegations, requested to be relieved of her duties, stating that she was the target of a character assassination.

While Fatih Karahan was appointed to replace Erkan, the decision published in the Official Gazette with the signature of AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that Erkan had been dismissed.

SHE SERVED FOR 8 MONTHS AND WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE A SALARY FOR 2 MORE YEARS

The decision noted that TCMB Governor Hafize Gaye Erkan was dismissed in accordance with the additional Article 35 of Decree-Law No. 375 and Article 2 of Presidential Decree No. 3.

Thus, it emerged that Hafize Gaye Erkan would be able to receive a salary for another two years.

IT WAS TO PREVENT HER FROM BEING VICTIMIZED

Okan Müderrisoğlu, a columnist for the Sabah newspaper, known for its proximity to the government, stated that the term 'dismissed' was used in the Official Gazette to ensure that Hafize Gaye Erkan would not suffer any victimization.

Okan Müderrisoğlu said that the phrase 'dismissed' was used in the Official Gazette by Erdoğan's decision regarding Gaye Erkan's personal rights.

Müderrisoğlu stated, "The person who takes on such a critical task will be prevented from suffering victimization due to the shock of the first few days. And I think this is one of our state's most correct practices."

The relevant parts of Okan Müderrisoğlu's article are as follows:

"Its name is the Central Bank of the Republic. It is a Republic institution. It is proof that while people come and go, protecting the value of the nation's money is eternal. We wish success to Fatih Karahan, who has been appointed as the Governor of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey. We never forget that the result to be achieved with his efforts will be the success of us all.

Although the fact that Hafize Gaye Erkan, the first female governor of the TCMB, requested to be relieved of her duties creates a bit of sadness, it is full of lessons for prospective managers who will take on responsibilities in Ankara.

I must state that... While Ms. Erkan declared that she had to leave her post, the presence of the phrase "dismissed" in our President's decree is related to personal rights. Ms. Erkan will be able to benefit from her personal rights for at least two years (or until she starts a new job). The person who takes on such a critical task will be prevented from suffering victimization due to the shock of the first few days. And I think this is one of our state's most correct practices."
