Çiçek, speaking to members of the press early Monday evening after a Cabinet meeting, announced that İbrahim Şahin, the undersecretary of the Transportation Ministry, had been proposed for the job. It is now only a matter of a signature of approval by President Abdullah Gül for Şahin to take office. TRT has been managing without a general manager since 2005, when its former general manager, Şenol Demiröz, retired. The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) had earlier proposed three candidates for the position, out of whom the Cabinet had favored İbrahim Şahin. However Şahin’s appointment was blocked by former President Ahmet Necdet Sezer, who claimed that the RTÜK’s process of picking candidates was faulty. Since 2005 the TRT has been headed by an acting general manager. A formal application process was launched in October of this year to finally appoint a permanent one.
