Foreign ministry slams remarks by Turkish foreign ministry on Egypt

Egypt's foreign ministry on Thursday slammed the remarks by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Egypt. 

Speaking to MENA, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid said the Turkish stance on Egypt represents a psychological problem from which Turkish officials suffer since the June 30 revolution. 

Its more useful for Turkish officials to care about the political situation in their country and Turkish relations with its neighbors and other world countries, the spokesman said.

Egypt will continue to be strong thanks to the unity of its people under their democratically elected president, he stressed. 

In statements in Qatar, Çavuşoğlu said “This is what we have been saying: A strong Egypt is needed for the Arab world, Africa and Palestine. But today’s Egypt is not strong and has no use for anybody. It’s as fragile as it could collapse in the absence of the support of regional countries."

There is a need for the formation of a more inclusive government in Egypt for the stability of the country and its people, Çavuşoğlu said.
