Egypt denounces Turkey's statements on developments in Egypt following Morsi's 2013 ouster
|
[Al Ahram] Egypt denounced on Saturday statements by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
regarding the country’s political developments in connection with the 30 June revolution, describing the Ottoman Turkish comments as "preposterous claims."
In an official statement, Egypt’s foreign ministry front man Ahmed Hafez slammed a TV interview that aired on Wednesday on CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network , now who know what it might stand for...
Turk with Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, who addressed in a negative manner the developments in Cairo following the ouster of late Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Hafez said the statements by Cavusoglu showed a continued adherence to "preposterous claims to serve ideological purposes."
The Egyptian ministry front man affirmed Egypt’s full rejection of Turkey’s approach, noting that discussions about Egypt in "such a negative tone, and at the same time with such contradiction, casts doubt on claims that there is a willingness to create an atmosphere for good relations based on respect and commitment to the rule of international legitimacy."
Egypt has had strained relations with Turkey since the 2013 ouster of Morsi, who was a close ally of Ottoman Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan’s government.
Tensions between the two countries escalated in the past months over Ankara's military intervention in war-torn Libya, its violation of Iraq's illusory sovereignty, as well as Ankara's hunt for gas in the Eastern Mediterranean in violation of the territorial waters of Greece and Cyprus, two close allies of Egypt.
Conflict further heightened after Egypt and Greece signed a maritime demarcation deal in August establishing an exclusive economic zone between the two countries, sparking an angry response from Turkey.
Ankara said at the time that Turkey considers the agreement to be null and void, and that the area falls within the borders of Turkey's continental shelf.
The Egyptian ministry’s statement comes days after the Ottoman Turkish foreign minister criticised during the interview with the Ottoman Turkish broadcaster the situation in Egypt following the ousting of Morsi and the dispersal of the pro-Islamist protests camps of Rabaa and Nahda in 2013.
Cavusoglu hinted that his country offered to sign a maritime jurisdiction agreement with Egypt, similar to a controversial agreement it made with Libya.
