Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoganon said hisclose ally, Mohamed Morsi, was “killed” and accused Egyptian authorities offailing to intervene to save the ex-president.
Erdogan forged close ties with Morsi, Egypt’s firstcivilian president, and a prominent Muslim Brotherhood member.
But Ankara’s relations with Cairo ties deterioratedafter the Egyptian military, then led by Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, ousted Morsi in2013. Sisi then became president.
Erdoganhas sharply denounced the military takeoverin Egypt and called it a “coup”.
On Wednesday, he said he would follow up on theprocess related to Morsi’s death.
The attorney general’s office in Egypt has said thatMorsi was “transported immediately to the hospital”, where medics pronouncedhim dead — a version confirmed by a judicial source.
Morsi was buried on Tuesday, as rights groupsincluding Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch called for anindependent probe into the causes of his death.
