Late Saturday night 6/3/2023, the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, announced the new composition of his Government and Council of Ministers. Among the remarkable things is the fact that Cavusoglu (former Foreign Minister), Hulusi Akar (Former Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and Soylou (Former Ministry of Internal Affairs) are outside the Government. Hagan Fidan, former head of the Secret Services of Turkey, takes over the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is worth noting that only two of the former ministers participate in the new cabinet. Essentially, the ministers of Health and Culture did not change. Here is the detailed list as posted by a CNN Turk reporter:
