President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who went on an Asia tour, also answered journalists' questions upon his return to Turkey.
Erdoğan stated, "No coach sends a team onto the field without studying it. We are currently working on this as well.
With this dynamic structure, I hope we will prepare a list that takes into account the demographic structure of all of Turkey and present it to the political arena.
As the AK Party, we have always seen our congresses as an opportunity for renewal and refreshment. Each of our congresses has also been an important turning point for the AK Party and Turkey.
Because we determined the cadres that manage our party and our country through our Grand Congresses. We have always viewed these processes not as a race for positions, but as a relay race among cadres burning with a passion for service. Our goal has always been to move our party further forward and strengthen our understanding of service,” he said.
"HE WILL FINALIZE THE LISTS"
While different interpretations have emerged regarding the signal of change in the corridors, TGRT Ankara News Coordinator Ahmet Sözcan made important statements during a live broadcast.
Stating that the cabinet reshuffle could take place on Friday night, Sözcan said,
"President Erdoğan does not appear to have any public programs today.
The AK Party's grand ordinary congress will be held on Sunday. Erdoğan is also continuing his preparations for the congress.
We expect him to be at the AK Party Headquarters today. We expect him to determine the MKYK and MYK members and finalize those lists. We can say that President Erdoğan will focus more on congress preparations today.
WATCH OUT FOR FRIDAY NIGHT
(Regarding the claim that the Council of Ministers and his team will change) According to the information provided by my source, there will be a change in the cabinet before the congress. We need to focus on the Official Gazette on Friday night. President Erdoğan may carry out the expected cabinet reshuffle on Friday.
There are 2 different views within the AK Party. Some say the cabinet will change before the congress, while others say it may be left until after the congress. According to the information provided by my AK Party source, the cabinet reshuffle will take place before the congress. Of course, the decision rests with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The reason for the uncertainty is this;
President Erdoğan shares the cabinet reshuffle with a narrow circle. He does not share it until the last moment. It is not very possible for this information to leak. However, it is certain that President Erdoğan will make a cabinet reshuffle. I received information from an important name. The cabinet reshuffle will happen before the congress. Different numbers are also being mentioned regarding the count. It is stated that the number of names to be changed is high. A statement of at least 3 or more is being voiced."
