One of the most important parts of the state legal entity and the Turkish administrative organization is the ministries. Although the ministries do not have separate legal entities, they have duties in delivering the basic public services offered by the State to citizens. While performing this task, a large staff power is utilized. There is a wide hierarchical staging within the Ministry. This staging is at the top of the minister. In the old system, the undersecretary at the hierarchical level after the minister and the deputy minister in the new system. The undersecretary was the highest civil servant, whose hierarchical ranks had risen in line with the principles of career and merit. Civil Servants Law No. 657 was applied. One person could be appointed to the Undersecretariat duty. In the new system, it is envisaged that the deputy minister may be appointed more than once. Although the provisions of the Law No. 657 on exceptional civil service are implemented regarding the deputy ministers, they are also designated as senior public managers in the Presidential Decree No. 3. There is no regulation among the deputy ministers which one is hierarchically higher. In the old system, it was made up of an undersecretary, and then there were deputy undersecretaries. In addition, deputy ministers in the new system can be appointed from among public officials, or from outside public officials.
