Bekir Bayrakdar was born in 1971 in Kocaeli. He graduated from the Department of International Relations at Istanbul University’s Faculty of Political Sciences in 1995. The following year he began his career at the Presidency of the Accountants Board, where he held various positions over the ensuing years. In 2019 he was appointed acting head of the Revenue Administration, and a year later, in 2020, he received a permanent appointment to that post. His trajectory continued in 2023 when he became a member of the Audit Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey. These steps were among the appointment decisions published in the Resmi Gazete.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan issued a series of appointments and dismissals that touched numerous government bodies. Thirteen distinct appointments were mentioned in the coverage. The President was the authority behind these actions, signing off on both new placements and removals. The formal announcement of Bayrakdar’s new role places him among a cohort of officials whose assignments were renewed or altered as part of this coordinated reshuffle.
The specific appointment that drew attention was Bayrakdar’s selection as Hazine ve Maliye Bakan Yardımcısı, the deputy minister within the Treasury and Finance Ministry. The announcement situates him at a key point in the ministry’s hierarchy as published in the Resmi Gazete.
Two named officials, Vildan Satık and Yener Yıldırım, were removed from their positions during this round.
Adjustments also occurred within the Social Security Institution (SGK), the State Hydraulic Works (Devlet Su İşleri), and the General Directorate of Agricultural Enterprises (Tarım İşletmeleri Genel Müdürlüğü). Two named officials, Vildan Satık and Yener Yıldırım, were removed from their positions during this round. The brief additionally references other figures—Sabri Tunç Angılı, Can Atilla, Pervin Oymak, and Suat Faruk Giray—as neutral participants in the broader appointment landscape.
Taken together, the actions were part of the appointments and dismissals announced by the President. The appointments were made official through the Resmi Gazete, the state’s formal publication of record. As of the announcements, Bekir Bayrakdar now serves as deputy minister of Treasury and Finance, having moved from a career that began in the Accountants Board, passed through the Revenue Administration, and included a term on the Central Bank’s Audit Board.
