#Turkey's FinMin Albayrak appears to have posted a resignation letter on his Instagram account, citing 'health' reasons. No confirmation from other official sources yet.

Albayrak's Twitter has been deleted.

Some Turkish journos with good government connections now say that Albayrak's resignation is authentic and he was arm-twisted by Erdoğan.

#Turkey is a mess. It's been over an hour now since Albayrak's post on Instagram and no one knows if the country's Finance Minister has resigned or not.

RT @p_zalewski Turkey and Albayrak: the biggest resignation in years and not a single sound byte from a single major TV channel - except Haberurk - or news agency. Basically waiting to be told how and when to report this.

Cumhuriyet reports that Albayrak resigned because he wasn't consulted by Erdoğan over the appointment of Naci Ağbal as new TCMB governor. Government insiders think that the Turkish President will reject Albayrak's resignation.

For #Turkey watchers, a very interesting thread by CHP MP Yarkadaş on the backroom dealings behind Albayrak's resignation. https://twitter.com/barisyarkadas/status/1325490490729517057
