Turkey ready for
possible evacuation
of Turks from Egypt
Xinhua | 2013-7-9 8:38:30
By Agencies
The Turkish Embassy in Egypt has
started preparations for a
possible evacuation of Turkish
citizens from the country due to
the escalation of clashes
between Egyptian army troops
and pro-Muslim Brotherhood
demonstrators after Morsi
ouster, local Today's Zaman
reported on Monday.
In case of "critical conditions,"
the Turkish embassy has started
to collect information of Turkish
citizens in Egypt although an
evacuation is not yet underway,
according to sources from the
Turkish Foreign Ministry.
Meanwhile, Turkish citizens have
become the target of anti- Morsi
groups in the country.
Bilge Egemen, a Turkish reporter,
said Sunday in her Twitter that
she was assaulted by a group of
anti-Morsi demonstrators
gathered in Tahrir Square in
Cairo after reporting the
developments in Egypt as a "coup
d'etat."
Morsi was ousted by the Egyptian
army on Wednesday after
millions of protesters demanded
his removal due to his "
maladministration" since he was
elected a year ago. But
supporters of the Islamist-
oriented president condemned
the move as conspiratory and
vowed to sacrifice for Morsi's
legitimacy.
Turkey's military had evacuated it's 29,000 citizens during the Libyan Civil War within 72 hours.
