Egypt strongly responded to the provocative statements by Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmuş on relations with Egypt.

A reliable source told MENA that Egypt and its people do not wait the approval or blessing from Turkey on the conditions in Egypt, pointing out that Ankara is a sponsor of terrorism and fuels conflicts in region.

The source asserted that Turkey uses all kinds of violence and violations against its people and allows migrants to head for European countries from Turkish territories to blackmail Europe.

The source called on all observers to have a look at the recent report of the Higher Commissioner of Human Rights on the freedoms and human rights in Turkey.

The Turkish official had said the Egyptian and Turkish peoples are friendly but Turkey is against "the coup on Egyptian democracy and its repercussions."
