[(Title)] Turkey ex-PM Yildirim elected parliament speaker.

ANKARA — Turkey's new parliament on Thursday elected as speaker former Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, a loyalist of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan whose post was abolished after elections last month.

土耳其新议会星期四选出前总理伊尔迪里姆(BinaliYildirim)为议长。

The 600-member parliament approved Yildirim, 62, of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) as the new speaker with 335 votes in the third round of voting.

由600名议员组成的议会在第三轮投票中以335票批准了执政的正义与发展党的62岁伊尔迪里姆作为新的发言人。

Erdogan's AKP is just short of a majority in the parliament, but counts on backing from its ally, the hard-right Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), whose votes helped agree Yildirim as speaker.

埃尔多安的正义与发展党在议会中只占多数票数，但依赖其盟友的支持，即强硬的国籍运动党（MHP），他的选票帮助同意伊尔迪里姆成为发言人。

Yildirim went down in Turkey's modern history on Monday as the last of its 27 prime ministers, as the country switched from a parliamentary to a presidential system with Erdogan's outright victory in the June 24 elections.

伊尔迪里姆(Yildirim)上周一成为土耳其27位首相中的最后一位，因为埃尔多安在6月24日的选举中获得了彻底的胜利，土耳其从议会制转向了总统制。

A former transport minister who oversaw the implementation of major construction projects, Yildirim is a close ally of Erdogan, who made him prime minister in 2016.

伊尔迪里姆也是前交通部长，负责监督大型建筑项目的实施，是埃尔多安的亲密盟友，2016年出任总理。

Under the new system, Erdogan enjoys sweeping executive powers including the authority to form a Cabinet and to dissolve parliament.

在新制度下，埃尔多安享有广泛的行政权力，包括组建内阁和解散议会的权力。

Parliament however retains some powers, and while the speaker position is largely ceremonial the incumbent can play an important role thrashing out compromise on contentious legislation.

然而，议会保留了一些权力，虽然议长职位主要是举行仪式，但现任议员可以发挥重要作用，就有争议的立法达成妥协。

Yildirim strongly campaigned for the new presidential system, with no sign of concern that he stood to lose his own job.

伊尔迪里姆大力支持新的总统制。

虽然新制度不再有首相，但如今已有副总统，埃尔多安就任后委任土耳其紧急机构前负责人福亚特·奥克泰(FuatOktay)为副总统。
