#Turkey& #39;s FinMin Albayrak appears to have posted a resignation letter on his Instagram account, citing & #39;health& #39; reasons. No confirmation from other official sources yet.

Albayrak& #39;s Twitter has been deleted. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤨" title="Gesicht mit hochgezogener Augenbraue" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit hochgezogener Augenbraue">

Some Turkish journos with good government connections now say that Albayrak& #39;s resignation is authentic and he was arm-twisted by Erdoğan.

#Turkey is a mess. It& #39;s been over an hour now since Albayrak& #39;s post on Instagram and no one knows if the country& #39;s Finance Minister has resigned or not.

Basically waiting to be told how and when to report this.

Cumhuriyet reports that Albayrak resigned because he wasn& #39;t consulted by Erdoğan over the appointment of Naci Ağbal as new TCMB governor. Government insiders think that the Turkish President will reject Albayrak& #39;s resignation.

For #Turkey watchers, a very interesting thread by CHP MP Yarkadaş on the backroom dealings behind Albayrak& #39;s resignation. https://twitter.com/barisyarkadas/status/1325490490729517057">https://twitter.com/barisyark...
