Political rivalry arose between the two allies of the newly formed Albanian State and this became more evident with Esad Toptani's departure from the government.

The first and second governments of Turhan Pasha, which seemed to be a "race" between Italians and Austrians for supremacy, were ineffective and produced little to no results.

[1] The Prime Minister grew tired of the long political and diplomatic disputes and did not have it with the right nerve to head governments that required energy, patience and of course international support.

But while Esad Toptani was politically sacrificed by the Austro-Hungarians, Aqif Biçakçiu followed the fall of the government which had become a casualty from the events of the First World War and the success of the insurgent uprising in Central Albania.

Turhan Pasha, in his speeches, made claims that his government would attach importance to the economy, industry, trade and education.
