Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has claimed that Israel was behind the July 3 military coup in Egypt, adding that Ankara has evidence as to the countrys involvement in President Mohamed Morsis overthrow.
Now the West starts to say democracy is not the ballot box or not only the box but we know that the ballot box is the peoples will, Erdoğan said Aug. 20 at an expanded meeting of the provincial chairs of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
This is what has been implemented in Egypt. Who is behind this? Israel. We have evidence, the prime minister said, citing a meeting between an intellectual and the justice minister in France before the 2011 elections.
Erdoğan said the
intellectual was Jewish. The Muslim Brotherhood will not be in power even if they win the elections. Because democracy is not the ballot box: This is what he said at that time, Erdoğan said.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Israel was behind Egyptian coup on Tuesday.
Erdogan, "If we want a world, where nation's will dominates, we need to respect the ballot boxes, where this will appear."
Turkish PM Erdogan, "Each of you shall take shelter behind those, who purpose the 'strong Turkey' case"
Here are some of Erdogan's remarks:
Erdogan said regarding Egypt:
"Those who want to see a dictator must look at Egypt."
"Nobody can pronounce the word 'dictator' where dictatorship exists. They hang them as it is in Egypt."
"Again for Egypt, the West says democracy is not just the polls. But we say polls are the way to democracy, election is the will of people itself. That's what has been staged in Egypt. Israel is behind the Egyptian military coup, we have the related documents to confirm that."
"West should receive the description of democracy, they need to learn it. If it would not be learnt, all these clashes in the definition of democracy, all these conflicts will take the world into another place."
"Several press members have been killed in Egypt by those appointed by Egypt's dictators."
"The Egyptian people know that they are right and do not give up the legal ground."
"This is a foolproof coup, where blood exists. There are women in this coup. People were killed mercilessly in this coup."
"As Turkey, we were the country, which most harshly scolded the coup."
"We know that there are rich people in the Islamic world, but we also know that there are poor people in need of alms. It is those rich of the Islamic world who support the dictators."
"If we stay silent in front of the coup in Egypt, we would not hold the right to say something if they set the same trap for us in the future."
"The Islamic world is like the brothers of Prophet Yosouf who threw him down the well. As in the case of the brothers of Prophet Yosouf, Allah will shame those in the Islamic world betraying their brothers and sisters in Egypt. Nobody can prevent the Egyptian people to rule Egypt."
Addressing the Gulf countries providing financial aid to Egypt's military government: "The situation of the African Muslim countries is obvious. To which of them did you help and give such a support?"
