After the recent resignation of Turkey’s Interior Minister Efkan Ala, head of the country’s National Intelligence Organization Hakan Fidan is also expected to step down from his position, the Milligazete reported on September 2.

Fidan’s resignation is being discussed in Ankara’s political circles, according to the newspaper.

Hakan Fidan was appointed head of the National Intelligence Organization in May 2010.
