Turkish PM Davutoglu Could Announce Resignation Thursday
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Davutoglu was expected to go to the southeastern European nation for a two-day visit on Friday and Saturday, but it has been canceled ahead of a crucial party congress, the Daily Sabah newspaper said.

The prime minister appears to be at odds with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over the Turkish leader’s plans to reclaim more power from Parliament by switching to a presidential system.

According to the outlet, Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) will soon convene a meeting where Davutoglu is expected to resign. The date for the meeting may be announced later on Thursday.
