SON-IN-LAW MINISTER

ANKARA: President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday took on greater powers than any Turkish leader for decades as he was sworn in for a second presidential term, naming his son-in-law to the key post of finance minister in a revamped Cabinet. Erdogan, who has already transformed Turkey in 15 years of rule, took his oath of office in Parliament under the new presidential system denounced by opponents as a one-man regime. – AFP
