Turkish envoy to Egypt summoned over remarks by Turkish officials

Turkish Ambassador to Cairo Hüseyin Avni Botsali was summoned by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday over remarks made Turkish officials on the military ouster of President Mohamed Morsi, which the Egyptian authorities describe as a “‘clear intervention’ in their internal affairs,” Hürriyet Daily News reports.

The ambassador has already been summoned over the Turkish leader’s criticisms about recent developments in the country, the news agency informs.

Turkish top officials, including Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, have repeatedly condemned the military overthrow of President Morsi, calling for his “immediate” release.
