Egypt–Turkey relations

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has slammed the mosque attack in Egypt that left 305 people dead, saying that the attackers “have no relation with Islam."

It is time to reconsider the issue of Turkey's membership in NATO, Erdogan's chief adviser, Yalcın Topcu, has stated, according to local media. Turkey has the second largest army in the alliance after the United States.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has condemned a statement by the Israeli Foreign Ministry about President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, calling the comments "presumptuous," amid a row over an escalation in the al-Aqsa mosque. 

This week marks the first anniversary of the failed coup attempt of July 15, 2016, which from day one the government declared as a terrorist act orchestrated by the U.S.-based Islamic cleric Fethullah Gülen.

Ankara subsequently urged Turkish embassies around the world to hold memorial services and use every occasion to explain the evils of Gülen's terror network to Turkey's allies. 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and British Prime Minister Theresa May held a phone conversation late on May 9, according to presidential sources.      

In a few months' time, a year will have been passed since Turkey's failed military coup attempt. 

Yet to this day, Turks seem to have failed to convince people elsewhere that followers of
U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen were behind the coup. 

The Turkish-Egyptian Business Council has met in Cairo for the first time since the military coup in Egypt in 2013, calling for a revival of bilateral economic and trade ties. 

Germany's government has condemned remarks by Turkey's president accusing officials of "Nazi practices," days after a local authority prevented a Turkish minister from addressing a meeting there.

Chancellor Angela Merkel's chief of staff called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's statements "absolutely unacceptable."

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was touring the Gulf last week. During the trip, he spoke to a number of Arab media outlets, including the Qatari newspaper Al-Arab. Most remarkable during this interview were his comments on Egypt. What he said wasn't so interesting, it is what he didn't say that made this interview so fascinating to me.

British Prime Minister Theresa May will visit Turkey on Jan. 28 and meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a spokesman said on Jan. 24, as the British leader seeks to prepare for post-Brexit trade deals.

The visit will be May's first to Turkey as prime minister and she is expected to fly directly to Ankara from the United States, the Downing Street spokesman said.
