Ibrahim Kalin, one of the figures closest to the Turkish president and a former spokesman for the presidency, is seen as a strategic player, with experience in security, ideology and international relations.
The waves of a deep restructuring in the Turkish government are strengthening, with voices from Ankara speaking of a major change at the top of the country's diplomacy. According to recent reports, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is seriously considering replacing Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan with an equally powerful name, the current head of the Turkish Intelligence Service (MIT), Ibrahim Kalin.
The news was initially reported by the daily Sözcü, through renowned journalist Mustafa Balbay, who emphasizes that this move is part of Erdogan's effort to alleviate domestic pressures, but also to reformat Ankara's diplomatic profile in the international arena.
According to Balbay, Fidan's position has been shaken, especially after his statements about the American engines of Turkish KAAN fighter jets, as well as due to the cold reactions in the Turkish media after the Erdogan-Trump meeting. These developments have sparked speculation about internal frustration over the diplomatic handling of some sensitive files.
On the other hand, Ibrahim Kalin, one of the figures closest to the Turkish president and a former spokesman for the presidency, is seen as a strategic player, with experience in security, ideology and international relations. His move from MIT to the Foreign Ministry could signal a more centralized and controlled approach to diplomacy, aimed at strengthening Turkey's position in an increasingly tense geopolitical context.
The Turkish presidency's office has not officially commented on these rumors, but sources close to the AKP say that the final decision is only a matter of time, and will be part of a broader cabinet reshuffle in the coming months.
If this move is confirmed, it would mark one of the most significant changes in Turkish foreign policy since Erdogan returned to power in 2023, placing his closest loyalists in the most critical positions of the state.
