agency, according to a decree published Saturday, after annual inflation figures angered both the pro-government and opposition camps.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The dismissed state statistic agency chief, Sait Erdal Dincer, came under fire after releasing data this month that put the annual inflation rate at a 19-year high of 36.1 percent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The opposition said the figure was underreported, claiming that the real cost of living increases were at least twice as high.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But Erdogan reportedly criticised the statistics agency in private for publishing data that he felt overstated the scale of Turkey&#8217;s economic malaise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Erdogan did not explain his decision to appoint Erhan Cetinkaya, who had served as vice-chair of Turkey&#8217;s banking regulator, as the new state statistics chief.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Turkish leader also appointed a new justice minister, naming former deputy prime
