Turkish PM urges ‘so-called’ new rulers of Egypt to release Morsi

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has again slammed the military overthrow of elected Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, calling for his “immediate” release.

“Any attitude that can drag [Egypt] into confrontation should be avoided. We expect that all politicians, Morsi and the prime minister [Hisham Qandil] in the first instance, will be immediately released,” Erdogan said today during the opening of a new metro line in Istanbul.Erdogan also raised his rhetoric against the countries that have shied away from describing the takeover as a “coup.”

“The European Union has not yet made a statement condemning the coup. Where is your EU acquis? The United Nations hasn’t made a resolute statement. Some Muslim countries have not rebuked the coup with courage. Those who abandon the Egypt under Morsi’s administration by backing the putschists are punishing the people,” he said, adding that only Turkey and Qatar had supported the deposed president.

“May nobody deceive anybody. In Egypt, a coup has been staged. And a coup, whomever it targets, is bad and prejudicial. It murders democracy and the future. Those who don’t call a coup a coup are the supporters of a coup,” Erdogan said.

“We are not siding with the putschists. We are siding with the result of the ballot,” he said, adding that Morsi had been targeted by “plots” from inside and outside since he was elected.
