Erdogan: won't meet Sisi unless Brotherhood death sentences lifted
2016-02-08
Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan said he would not meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi unless the death sentences of ousted President Mohammad Morsi and other Muslim Brotherhood members are revised and lifted, Turkish media reports said.

Answering a question from reporters on any development in relationships between Egypt and Turkey, ErdoÄŸan said his stance on the issue was clear. Saying that ministers could hold meetings with their Egyptian counterparts, ErdoÄŸan stated that he, however, would not welcome the Turkish prime minister having meetings with Egyptian officials.

#1  No doubt President el-Sisi is not devastated. The more so as he clearly sees himself as analogous to those generations of Turkish generals who prevented the civilians from sliding back into a religious morass, and so must be displeased with the treatment of the current generation, ordered into jails and courtrooms.
