Abu Dhabi: Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said Sunday that Turkey’s “actions” must be compatible with Egypt’s principles and goals so that relations between the two countries can return to normal.
Shoukry confirmed the existence of contacts between Cairo and Ankara after years of tension, but indicated that the dialogue is limited.
Shukry told the House of Representatives’ Foreign Relations Committee: “There were no contacts outside the normal diplomatic framework, and if we find real actions from Turkey and goals that are consistent with Egyptian goals and policies ... the ground will be paved for normal relationship with Turkey.”
