Sabah newspaper reported on Tuesday, ANSAmed reports, citing the
Sabah newspaper.
The bilateral agreements reportedly addressed the transport, education
and health care sectors. In addition, Turkey has suspended deliveries
of Turkey-made ANKA unmanned aerial vehicles to Egypt. Voyages of
ro-ro type cargo ship between the two countries, which have been
carried out from the Turkish port of Iskenderun to the Egyptian port
of Port Said were also suspended.
There has been some tension in relations between Turkey and Egypt
after the overthrow of ex-President Morsi. Ankara called the events
in Egypt, "a military coup" and said that the new regime in Egypt
is not legitimate. On July 3, the Egyptian army ousted Islamist
President Mohamed Morsi, suspended the constitution and asked the
head of the Constitutional Court to act as the country's head during
a transitional period. Egypt's court made a decision to arrest Morsi
for 15 days under the ongoing investigation, on July 26.
