After the Council of Ministers was abolished with 2017 constitutional referendum, the Cabinet now acts as an informal advisory forum as all its powers and functions were vested to the President.
According to the Turkish constitution, ministers can't be a member of parliament due to separation of powers.
Cabinet ministers, and other executive branch appointees, must resign their seat in Parliament to serve in the government.
These restrictions are in place to alleviate external pressure and influence on ministers, and to enable them to focus on their governmental work.
According to the principle of departmentalization, the cabinet ministers are free to carry out their duties independently within the boundaries set by the President's political directives.
If two ministers disagree on a particular point, the cabinet resolves the conflict by a majority vote or the President exercises final decision authority.
The minutes will include, exclusively, the circumstances related to the time and place of its celebration, the list of attendees, the resolutions adopted and the reports presented.
The cabinet meetings are held at the Presidential Complex, the official resident of the President and the headquarters of the government.
