Sabah columnist Yavuz Donat met with Sadık Albayrak in the Black Sea region. Donat asked Albayrak about the system debate in Turkey and the whereabouts of the former minister.
The relevant part of Donat's article is as follows:
“Berat Albayrak
Former Minister of Energy and Natural Resources... Not seen... Not spoken... Not written...
Where is he? What is he doing?
Father Albayrak said, ‘He's in Istanbul’:
He is involved with the NUN Education and Culture Foundation.
It is raising a new generation... The human resources... The managers of the Turkey of the future.
Berat has chosen his path... He is studying... He is researching... He is taking care of his children... We owe it to ourselves to walk on the path that fate has drawn.”
