Egypt said it had asked
Turkey's ambassador to leave and accused Ankara of backing unnamed organizations
bent on spreading instability, a likely reference to the Muslim Brotherhood of
ousted Egyptian president Mohamed Mursi.
Turkey was "attempting to
influence public opinion against Egyptian interests, supported meetings of organizations
that seek to create instability in the country," said foreign Ministry
Spokesman Badr Abdelatty on Saturday.
Turkey has emerged as one of
the fiercest international critics of Mursi's removal, calling it an
"unacceptable coup". Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood has close ties with
Turkey's ruling AK Party.
