President’s communication director’s wife to be appointed to Turkish Airlines board – Sözcü

Altun is also chairing the board of Türgev, a foundation that supports young people and students through a network of dormitories. The foundation was formerly directed by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s son, Bilal Erdoğan.

Her husband, Fahrettin Altun, the Presidential Communications Director, was last year also appointed to the Istanbul Stock Exchange’s board of directors. Erişah Arıcan, an academic who supervised and reportedly helped Finance and Treasury Minister Berat Albayrak, Erdoğan’s son-in-law, currently heads the Istanbul Stock Exchange.

“On the one hand, there is THY whose shares are traded at the stock exchange. On the other, there is the Istanbul Stock Exchange, which is responsible for managing the capital market instruments of publicly held companies in a ‘trustworthy, transparent, effective, competitive, honest, and stable way’.
