Egypt is ready to cooperate with Turkey, which has been seeking to improve relations with its neighbors, provided it does not interfere in Egypt's internal affairs, Egyptian parliament's Speaker Ali Abdel Aal said.
"My judgment on a matter is taken in balance with the opinion of the Egyptian people. We do not and we would not allow other states to interfere in our internal affairs. If a country respects this principle, we are ready to cooperate with any state, including Turkey," Sputnik cited Aal as saying.
Relations between Egypt and Turkey deteriorated following former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi's removal from power in a 2013 state coup, the legitimacy of which Ankara refused to recognize.
