It was claimed he was left behind for the post-Erdoğan era in the corridors... Berat Albayrak's new move draws attention

Türk Telekom CEO Ümit Önal has been appointed to head the newly established Cyber Security Presidency under the Presidency. According to behind-the-scenes information reported by T24 columnist Tolga Şardan, the appointment is considered a turning point demonstrating that Berat Albayrak has regained power in the struggle between factions within the AKP.

Regarding the appointment, Şardan used the phrase "the most valuable of recent times," stating that this position is of such importance that it clarifies the balances within the AKP.

THE INFLUENCE OF SON-IN-LAW ALBAYRAK WAS DECISIVE

It was stated that as a result of the appointment, Ümit Önal, who was proposed by Albayrak, was included in the decree instead of other heavy-hitting candidates. Tolga Şardan stated that the recent scandals involving fake diplomas and e-signatures were effective in keeping Ömer Fatih Sayan out, and that these scandals led President Erdoğan to task the State Audit Board (DDK) with an investigation.

Şardan said, "The exploding scandals and the DDK audit accelerated the appointment to the Cyber Security Presidency."

STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF THE CYBER SECURITY PRESIDENCY

The strategic importance of the newly appointed Ümit Önal was emphasized. Şardan explained the role of the institution as follows:

"It holds a very important place in digital public administration. The Cyber Security Presidency (SGB) is located at the intersection of the digital systems of almost all institutions in the country. The data pools of all institutions will be collected at the SGB. The power of this institution is quite significant."

SON-IN-LAW ALBAYRAK MOVED ONE STEP AHEAD

It was stated that with the appointment of Ümit Önal, Berat Albayrak has moved one step ahead. Şardan noted that this development has consolidated Albayrak's political weight.
