Ahmet Davuto臒lu (Turkish pronunciation: [ah'met da'vuto藧色u]; born 26 February 1959) is a Turkish diplomat and politician who has been the 26th Prime Minister of Turkey since 28 August 2014. He previously served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs from 2009 to 2014, pursuing a policy of expanding Turkey's regional influence in former Ottoman territories and rebuilding relations with Israel after the 2009 Gaza flotilla raid on the MV Mavi Marmara.He also actively participated in the peace processes of the civil wars in Syria and Libya, as well as the Cyprus dispute and the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict, while his allegedly supportive stance on the Islamic State in Iraq has drawn criticism. Prior to becoming Foreign Minister, Davutoglu served as chief advisor to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and became a Member of Parliament for Konya in the 2011 general election. He is also a political scientist, an academic, and an ambassador at large. Following the election of serving Prime Minister and Justice and Development Party (AKP) leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan as the 12th President of Turkey, Davuto臒lu was announced by the AKP Central Executive Committee as a candidate for the party leadership. He was unanimously elected as leader unopposed during the party's first extraordinary congress and consequently succeeded Erdo臒an as Prime Minister. He formed the 62nd Government of the Turkish Republic, which was sworn in on 29 August 2014 by President Erdo臒an.[6] His cabinet has been dominated by Erdo臒an's close allies such as Yal莽谋n Akdo臒an, leading to speculation that he will take a docile and submissive approach as Prime Minister while Erdo臒an continues to pursue his political agenda as President.
