| 2013-12-24 |
| [Al Ahram] Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is planning a major cabinet reshuffle amid mounting tensions over an anti-graft probe that has touched the heart of the government, local media reported. Erdogan, who was already expected to reshuffle his cabinet ahead of local elections on March 30, is expected to replace 10 ministers by the end of the month, the Hurriyet newspaper reported. Rattled by the worst scandal of his 11-year rule, Erdogan has described the probe as a "smear campaign" against his Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP). |
