Turks see Arab meddling in Egypt

In the second strongly-worded statement delivered in two consecutive days, Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdağ (Turkey) pointed the finger at Egypt’s neighboring countries ruled by monarchs, claiming that these states supported the coup regime in order to better control Egypt, as “puppet administrations” were easier to control than democracies.

“There are a lot of monarchic administrations around Egypt. People living under those monarchies might say ‘Look how it went in Egypt, a great success has emerged. Here, why shouldn’t it happen for us?’ Therefore it is clear that there are monarchic structures disturbed by the change in Egypt around the axis of democracy, human rights and people’s will. One must be blind not to see it. It is that clear,” Bozdağ said yesterday
