Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS ANKARA 002239 SIPDIS SENSITIVE STATE FOR EUR/SE, EB/TRA ROME FOR FAA PARIS FOR TSA FRANKFURT FOR TSA, FAA E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: EAIR, ASEC, ATRN, TU SUBJECT: TURKISH CIVIL AVIATION DIRECTOR CEBECI REPLACED This message is sensitive but not classified. Not for internet distribution. 1. (SBU) Topa Bilgetin Toker was reinstated on April 1 as Director General of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), replacing Serdar Cebeci. Toker, who was discharged for unspecified reasons in August 2002, had filed a lawsuit against the state. The court recently determined that Toker had been fired without cause, and therefore reinstated him as Director General. Sources at the DGCA told us the reinstatement of Toker had been a legal decision, and had nothing to do with the AK Party Government. One DGCA source said AK was not likely to replace Toker any time soon, given Toker,s successful lawsuit. 2. (SBU) Comment: We do not anticipate that this change will affect Turkey,s aviation policy. Like Cebeci, Toker is an approachable contact. End comment. PEARSON
