'The President is in trouble' claim: DEM Party's '5 Kurdish Ministers' condition for Erdoğan

Yeniçağ columnist Ahmet Takan included claims in his column today regarding the long-discussed cabinet change, citing sources from the Palace.

Takan stated, "Due to sensitive and critical balances, a cabinet revision is seen as very difficult to realize."

"THE CHIEF IS IN TROUBLE" CLAIM

According to the reported behind-the-scenes information, Ahmet Takan shared the impression he gained from Palace circles with these words:

"According to what I heard from Palace sources, 'the Chief is in trouble'…"

EMPHASIS ON EMİNE ERDOĞAN AND BİLAL ERDOĞAN

The article also drew attention to demands coming from President Erdoğan's family. Ahmet Takan claimed that Emine Erdoğan has "persistent demands" regarding the names who will leave and join the cabinet.

In the section regarding Bilal Erdoğan, the following statements were included:

"Bilal Erdoğan is constantly pressuring his father to ensure that all ministers in the cabinet are 'names close to me'."

HAKAN FİDAN DETAIL

Ahmet Takan used the following expressions in his assessment regarding Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan:

"Hakan Fidan, who takes a close snapshot of the situation within the family, is reportedly trying to deflect the pressures coming from the family by drawing attention to 'harmony and collaborative work in the cabinet' at every opportunity."

REVEALED DEM PARTY'S CONDITION

The most striking part of the article contained the claim regarding the DEM Party. Ahmet Takan stated that one of President Erdoğan's "fundamental problems" is the demand from the DEM Party, and used the following expression:
