Meet the Most Powerful Man in Turkey, Berat ♫ Erdogan's son-in-law

Adviser for more than a decade, and is now the second most powerful person in Turkey. The establishment of Berat Albayraku has become one of the most controversial topics in the country's new history, reports Guardian.

The 40-year-old businessman, who will address foreign investors in terms of the freedom crisis Thursday, thus tomorrow, owes his establishment and post to his father-in-law, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has given him extraordinary powers in Turkish life, especially in the past five years, broadcast Periscopi.

The firm trust Erdogan has given to his daughter Esra's husband culminated in his appointment as finance minister in June, a role that has made Berat the guardian of the national crisis.

As the Turkish currency moves towards the unknown and the global markets nervously speculate as to whether Turkey can turn its economy back on track, these two men carry a burden many believe they are unable to bear.

Albayraku has learned much from his father - in - law, who seems to have learned how Donald Trump, his counterpart, tries to rule. Berat is for Erdogan the way Jared Kouchner is for Trump.

Both presidents view themselves as powerful for their faith in the family. Erdogan, like Trump, has invested his inheritance in the groom. Since last year's referendum granting Erdogan great executive powers, and since the June elections, which gave him another mandate as president, he and Berat have become even stronger. This double is effectively leading the country.

Albayraku has expressed his contempt, like Erdogan, for Western differences and distrust. His allies say he is discussing reorienting Turkey's economy away from the United States and Europe towards Asia and emerging economies.

Incumbent Finance Minister has displayed a ruthless sheep, eliminating his rivals within the party The AKP, as was then Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, and anyone who seemed unfaithful to Erdogan.

In the years that followed, Albayraku also became a formidable man, gathering power that made him immune for as long as Turkey's current leader remains in power. The double relationship has become as close as Erdogan's confidence has been described as unconditional.

Before the economic crisis, there was nothing on the horizon that could test that. Now that, with Turkey's debt increased, Albayraku will face a test like no one else before.

For now, Erdogan remains indifferent, refusing to recognise the extent of the problem that has alarmed regional markets and its economists and other countries. Albayraku appears committed to Erdogan's unorthodox insistence on low interest rates.

Both men will either carry the ship or sink with it. /Guardian/Periscopi
