Former Turkish President Dies
(MENAFN- QNA) Former Turkish President Suleyman Demirel, who once escaped an assassination attempt and went through a military coup, has died of heart failure due to respiratory tract infection at the age of 91 late Tuesday night.
According to a statement from the private Guven Hospital in the capital Ankara, Demirel had been under treatment for renal failure, heart failure and acute respiratory tract infection since May 13, according to Anadolu Agency (AA).
Demirel was one of Turkey's most prominent center-right political figures. He served as the country's prime minister seven times and was president from 1993 to 2000.
With just over a decade in office as premier, he was Turkey’s third-longest serving prime minister after Turkey's first Prime Minister Ismet Inonu and current President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
