Mohamed Morsi

Turkey has expressed willingness for Egypt to take part in a proposed working group formed to coordinate international efforts in Libya, which has been mired in conflict following an uprising that toppled veteran leader Muammar Gaddafi five years ago, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavu?o?lu has said. 

Exactly five years after Egypt's democratic revolution triumphed, the country is once more ruled by a military office. General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi seized power in July 2013 and is even nastier than his predecessors.

More than 600 Egyptians were sentenced to death last year, mostly in mass trials, and most of the cases involved people who had gone to pro-democracy protests. 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has categorically ruled out meeting with Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi until death penalty sentences for ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi and other Muslim Brotherhood leaders are lifted, while giving a green light for ministerial-level talks between the two estranged countries.

Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) head Kemal K?l?çdaro?lu criticized the government's foreign policy on Egypt, referring to state news reports calling Egypt's new parliament "illicit." 

Turkey will invite Egypt to the 13th Summit of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul on April 10-15, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Tanju Bilgiç said Jan. 8, in spite of the poor ties between Ankara and Cairo.

This is what President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an said about the recent execution of 47 convicts by Saudi Arabia: "47 people have been sentenced to death. Turkey does not have the death sentence, but the executions in Saudi Arabia are an internal legal matter. In Egypt, nearly 1,000 death sentences were handed out. Hey world: Why are you not talking about that?

At least sixteen people were killed and another three injured in a Molotov cocktail attack targeting a nightclub in the Egyptian capital of Cairo on Friday.

According to Cairo Post newspaper, three masked men threw the firebomb in the nightclub located in the Agouza area in the city centre and then fled the scene.

Egyptians began voting Nov. 22 across 13 of the country's 27 provinces in the second phase of parliamentary elections after a low turnout marred the first stage in the absence of any strong opposition.

A sculpture in the shape of the four-fingered "Rabia" hand gesture on the desk of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has drawn attention after being photographed during his phone conversation with U.S. President Barack Obama.

Rifat Hisarc?kl??olu, the head of Turkey's largest trade organization, has traveled to Egypt to attend the Islamic Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture (ICCIA) meetings at a time when relations between the two countries are interrupted due to political problems.
