Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attacked on Saturday the death sentence handed out by an Egyptian court to former president Mohamed Morsi, saying it was like a return to “ancient Egypt”.
“The popularly-elected president of Egypt… has unfortunately been sentenced to death. Egypt is turning back into ancient Egypt,” Erdogan said at a rally in Istanbul, accusing the West of “turning a blind eye” to the 2013 coup that ousted Morsi.
