Turkish President Abdullah Gul said Egyptian security forces' armed intervention against the supporters of Morsi was "completely unacceptable."
Meanwhile, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the UN Security Council and Arab League to take immediate steps to stop the "massacre" in Egypt.
Erdogan slammed the international community for doing nothing on the Egyptian authorities' violent crackdown.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also placed diplomatic calls and discussed the Egyptian incident with some of his colleagues, the report said.
Turkey is one of the few countries which strongly condemned what it called an "unacceptable coup" after Egyptian military ousted Morsi and called for restoring democracy in Egypt.
At least 15 people were killed and 203 others were injured in confrontations between supporters of Morsi and security forces during the dispersing operation that started early Wednesday at two major squares in Egypt.

‘Turkey will never rule Arab World’ – Egypt’s FM...
ReplyDeleteA non-Arab state, like Turkey, can’t rule the Arab World, Egypt’s interim foreign minister, Nabil Fahmy, told RT Arabic in an exclusive interview, calling Ankara’s ambitions to restore the Ottoman Empire groundless due to failed relations with neighbors.
Egypt’s interim government has only nine months ahead of it, but during that time Egypt will review its relations with all the countries on the world map, Fahmy said.
The minister stressed that all the attempts by the US and the EU to bring the army-backed government and the pro-Morsi Muslim Brotherhood movement to the negotiations table have failed, because the sides weren’t ready to reach an agreement and lacked mutual trust.
“First of all, it refers to the political Islam movements. The Muslim Brotherhood wanted a return to the past, but it’s impossible and unacceptable for the majority of the Egyptian people,” he said. “It’s not a problem between the Muslim Brotherhood and the government or the leadership of Egypt. It’s a problem between the Muslim Brotherhood and the majority of the Egyptian people.”
The FM stressed that all the attempts of “internationalization” of the Egyptian problem won’t be tolerated and that the crisis in the country will be settled “the Egyptian way.”
Fahmy has slammed Egypt’s foreign policy under Morsi, saying it was too ideological and lacked sense of direction, “hopping between the Eastern and pro-Western course.”
The minister said that it’s going to change under him. He has ordered a revision of Egypt’s relations with all the states on the world map “without exception,” including the US, which had significant influence on the country’s previous government.
“Our decisions will be based on evaluation of how our relations get in line with our [Egypt’s] interests,” he explained....http://rt.com/news/egypt-fahmy-minister-interview-865/
