Turkey and Egypt resume diplomatic contacts

For the first time since the break-up of their relationship in 2013, which occurred after the ouster of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, Turkey and Egypt have resumed “diplomatic contacts”, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoλουlu said today.

“We have contacts with Egypt at the level of intelligence services and foreign ministries. “Contacts have begun at the diplomatic level,” he said Tsavousoglou, as reported by the state-run Turkish news agency Anadolu.

According to the Turkish minister, the resumption of relations between the two countries is taking place “slowly” and based on a “road map”.

“No conditions were set on the part of the Egyptians. Neither did we. But when relationships are broken for years, it is not easy to act as if nothing has happened“, He underlined.

Ankara has stepped up its appeals to Cairo in recent weeks.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly called Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah al-Sisi a “coup d’etat” but has stopped criticizing in recent months.
