Turkey's Prime Minister announced a cabinet reshuffle today, replacing or swapping 11 ministers in the 26-member council of ministers, including the ministers for justice and defense. <br/><br/>The announcement came months after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan regained the leadership of Turkey's ruling party following a narrow win in a referendum ushering in a series of constitutional changes. Erdogan had complained of a fatigue within the ruling party, speaking of a need for rejuvenation. The cabinet reshuffle is seen as a major step toward his cementing his authority and putting his mark on the government ahead of the 2019 elections.
