Turkish central bank head says public duty should be performed to the end

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish Central Bank Governor Erdem Basci said on Friday a public duty should be performed for the period for which it was assigned, in comments broadcast on CNN Turk which appeared to dismiss suggestions he may resign. He told reporters as he arrived at the central bank that the rumours were untrue, that he remained in his post, and that his absence from work on Thursday was due to a health check-up which did not reveal any serious problem.
