The power conflict in the Eastern Mediterranean has brought Egypt and Turkey, which have had low diplomatic relations since 2013, closer to each other.
While the national interests of the two countries necessitate rapprochement, it is certain that Turkey will gain significant economic gains in the Eastern Mediterranean with the agreement it will make with Egypt.
But the normalization of diplomatic relations will bring intelligence partnership with it.
Necessary measures should be taken so that this agreement, which will bring great gains to Turkey, does not harm our Muslim brothers.
Egypt and Turkey, which have been in different alliances and opposing fronts so far, seem to sit at the table of agreement within the scope of the hydrocarbon distribution in the Eastern Mediterranean.
According to the information the Milli Gazete obtained from Egyptian sources, the national interests of both countries make this agreement obligatory.
It is certain that Turkey will gain significant economic gains in the Eastern Mediterranean with the agreement it will make with Egypt.
But the normalization of diplomatic relations will bring intelligence partnership with it.
It is also a matter of curiosity whether the Egyptian coup government will demand a sanction from Turkey against the Muslim Brotherhood movement, which it declared as a terrorist organization after the 2013 military coup.
The Muslim Brotherhood movement, which has always been persecuted for defending the Islamic cause, should not be sacrificed for the political ambition of the Sisi regime.
TURKEY MUST PROTECT IKHWAN'S LEGAL RIGHTS
Turkey and Egypt; countries very close to each other in historical, cultural and most importantly religious context. The fact that Turkey and Egypt, which are among the most popular countries of the Islamic world in terms of their ancient state traditions, population wealth and strategic positions, do politics in the same axis is considered as a development that will strengthen the power of the Islamic world. In this sense, an agreement between the two countries following the developments in the Eastern Mediterranean will have positive results both economically and politically. However, considering the persecution of the Muslim Brotherhood at the head of Egypt, Turkey should act more cautiously. The leading scientific authorities of the Islamic world are of the opinion that Turkey will continue to protect the Muslim Brotherhood's legitimate rights against the putschist Sisi regime.
