Turkey and Egypt have started diplomatic-level contacts – Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu
Is there an improvement I missed? Did the putschist general resign in Egypt? Mistakes are made in foreign policy, this is normal. What is not normal is insisting on mistakes. turning them into a matter of pride. Unfortunately, I cannot see any success in foreign policy. We are bad at the table as much as we are good on the field.
I'm going to say it again: foreign policy is a mess, a big fucking mess. Ten years of not talking to Egypt, now Egypt is in a better position to talk, and now they budge. Not the 10 years earlier.
Same story for Israel, a decade of bad relations or no relations and when Israel has the best hand and cards, they start to talk to them.
Don't get me wrong, I think its good that we are rebuilding our ties. But they shouldn't have been like this in first place. They will play hard to get now and Cavusoglu will have to bend backwards to facilitate anything.

This isnt about competent officials. Dont make your hatred for the AKP blind you from the truthTurkey has more to offer both Egypt and Israel, whether its EEZ or the proposed pipeline that would be feasible with Turkish involvement, i.e. linking it to the existing infrastructure at Ceyhan. Turkey could also be a consumer of Israeli and Egypt gas.
If only we had competent officials.
That doesnt seem to add up. This is an extension of UAE reapproaching with Turkey due to being exclusioned by USA. What new leverage do you think he gained over Erdogan to make him compensate according to your theory?we were know Egypt's red lines are thicker i think turkey president erdogan understood this too. This is a diplomatic victory for Abdel Fattah
Hey man Because of you Im supporting serbs Hope they take albania and kosovoThis isnt about competent officials. Dont make your hatred for the AKP blind you from the truth
You are misunderstanding something, Egypt and Israel are special, you cant dictate your relationship based only on a win-win repationship with these countries. To win these countries, you need to possess certain criteria....
For example, if Egypt would be won over based on a win-win relationship, Egypt would have never refused the EEZ agreement by Turkey even if you were at war. I mean what will Egypt lose here? Literally nothing; the deal literally states that Egypt will gain a bigger EEZ period! You are taking about a nation whose president
1- sold the Islands of Tiran and Sanafir wich literally controls the passage through the Suez canal which is surprisingly also one of the main foreign revenues and lifelines in terms of economy to Saudi Arabia. In other words, The Egyptian president sold the country's lifeline to a foreign nation
2- Signed the GERD agreement which literally gave Ethiopia the right to build a dam that will literally destroy the only source of fresh water for the ppl, as well as the only source of decent irrigation water for the egyptian ppl. The ppl are gonna starve by 2023-2025
After all this, what the egyptian administration cares about the most isnt signing protocols with Turkey or ToT in effecient agriculture or in military products or even prevent Turkey from aiding Abiy Ahmed (ethiopia's president) but as Ragip Soylu (a Middle East Eye journalist) said, what they care about is whether Erdo will shake hands with El Sissi or not. This is ridiculous!
Now for Israel, Israel will NEVER EVER be friendly with Turkey, whether it is under the AKP, CHP, or even the angels themselves, period! Israel's policy is clear, they need to be the number 1 country in the region in terms of military and political influence. With the current progression in Turkish military, Israel will alway keep Turkey in the "Always be aware of them" list. The fact that you guys can build top class weapons by yourselves makes you a top-class threat no matter which administration you are under as these weapons may one day be used against them. For example, do you think Israel will accept if Egypt joined TFX program, bought TB2, Akinci, Hisar Defence Systems or even signed co-production deals? Israel will be pissed way beyond recognition.
PLS DONT BE DELUSIONAL WAY BEYOND RECOGNITION
one final thing, NO! Turkey will never buy either Egypt or Israel's gas tbh! Just think about it! Why would you buy gas from them when you can buy gas that is 1000 times cheaper from Russia due to the super weak russian ruble and the presence of a pipeline to transport gas from Russia to Turkey as quick and as Cheap as possible. This would be just outright stupid!
Ahh yes everybody fears Egypt.
Let me say this hahahahhahaha
It is not about fear or something else. Mr abdel did not want to meet. Mr erdogan requests meet with Egypt. I guess this is the result of the psychology of regret and being alone . Abdel Fettah is same Abdel Fettah.We are scared of egyptian Aim-7s Lol
You should think 2 times when your fighting loudy

Only in egypt can a president lose 3 wars and still be lovedTypical Egyptian way of claiming victory.
I wont be surprised if you guys start calling sisi a genius
A minute i am confused. Are these people claiming that the Erdogan did not demand a meeting with the Egyptian president?
Anything on the Egyptian news?we were know Egypt's red lines are thicker i think turkey president erdogan understood this too. This is a diplomatic victory for Abdel Fattah
