Mehmet Habip Soluk (born 1950) is a Turkish politician and civil servant who served as the non-partisan Minister of Transport, Maritime and Communication between 8 March 2011 and 6 July 2011 during the final months of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's second government. As the Undersecretary to the Ministry of Transport, Maritime and Communication, he took over as Minister from Justice and Development Party politician Binali Yıldırım three months before the 2011 general election as required by Article 114 of the Turkish Constitution. He is, formally, of no political affiliation, though this was proven to be untrue when he applied to become a Justice and Development Party (AKP) parliamentary candidate for the June 2015 general election.[1]
