Turkish authorities called Egyptian army’s actions which resulted in overthrow of Mohamed Morsi unacceptable.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu demanded immediate release of Morsi and his supporters.
“Whatever the reason is, it is unacceptable that a democratically elected government was overthrown by illegitimate means, even more, with a military coup,” Hurriyet Daily News quotes Davotuglu.
According to Turkish media, the further actions of Turkey related to Egyptian developments will be discussed during the meeting with Premier Erdogan.
Earlier Al Arabiya reported that leaders of Jordan, Saudi Arabia and UAE welcomed the Egyptian army’s efforts, which means that legitimacy of their actions was recognized by the Arab world.
