“We will announce the formation of the restructured ministries, through the first decree by law, which we will issue after the swearing-in next Monday, and we will announce the composition of the administration of the country on the same evening”.
Erdogan, explained that the President of the Republic will perform the functions of the executive authority directly instead of the Council of Ministers authorized by the Parliament.

He pointed out that the Peoples Democratic Party is following the approach of the PKK.
“I call on everyone from the Republican People’s Party, who loves his country, his people, his republic and his state, to hold the party’s administration accountable for this disgraceful act”, Erdogan said.
“The people and history will be held accountable for making the oldest party in Turkey a puppet in the hands of marginal people in the West and a handful of terrorist leaders outside the country”.
He warned that the lack of self-accountability by the Republican People’s Party would cause his PKK to shift from a tactical to a basic one.
“We are working to accelerate the pace of the state’s work by merging institutions that carry out similar actions and abolish inefficient institutions”.
The Turkish president pointed out that the country has a date with the local elections soon.
“But before that we have to complete the analysis of the June 24 elections and take the necessary steps in this regard”.
He stressed the issue of correcting and correcting the mistakes made and then running for local elections in March.
He stressed that the results of the recent elections should be well evaluated.
“We’re not a party that is satisfied with having won first place in the elections, and we don’t see it as a success”.
He pointed out that the next Turkish government will not be as partisan as it was in the past, saying: “We now prepare a crew of government of our friends are not partisan”.
