Şamil Tayyar noted the following:

"Berat Albayrak is back on the agenda.

His participation in an event and these words are being reported with references to a possible cabinet change:

'We have had many shortcomings and mistakes. Believing in the virtue of learning from mistakes, we have taken very important steps in terms of improving ourselves and moving further ahead.'

Whether he will take on a role again, I do not know. Our President knows Berat Bey best. In my opinion, he is also closed to outside influence.

Let me express my personal opinion. I think our President needs Berat Bey much more than in the past. Because... our President is alone. You have crowds around you, but you feel alone; it is exactly like that.

'Berat Bey is the most suitable name for this 'bridge role' definition'

Consequently, the bond between the Presidential Complex, the government, and the party is very weak.

There is a need for a well-equipped person who will fill this void, who is strong and effective, with whom our President can share his loneliness, and whom he can trust and rely on to take the burden off his shoulders.

Whether the title is a ministry or another position, whatever it may be, Berat Bey is the most suitable name for this 'bridge role' definition.

Humbly."
