Turkey's Petkim says operations continue after reports of police operations
8/2/2016 9:07:01 AM
Turkey's biggest petrochemicals company, Petkim, said Tuesday that police launched operations at its main facility in Aliaga have not affected operations.
In a stock-exchange filing, Petkim, owned by Azerbaijan's Socar, did not confirm the reports, which said counter-terrorism police had raided the Aliaga complex on the Aegean coast as part of an investigation into a religious movement accused of staging a July 15 military coup.
A spokeswoman was not available to comment. The company confirmed last week it had appointed a new CEO after state media said its chief executive was detained in connection with the failed coup.
