The Foreign Ministry says Turkey will send a counter-letter to clarify Ankara’s position regarding to the ongoing events unfolding in Egypt. According a ministry spokesman, another element to be included in the letter is Turkey’s view that the transition period should be concluded as soon as possible. Prime Misnister Erdogan’s repeated calls to President Mubarak to go immediately irked the Egyptian administration but increased Turkey’s growing popularity in Arab Streets. “We will respond to this letter. We are preparing this respond letter but we haven’t sent it yet”Foreign Ministry Spokesman Selçuk Unal said a weekly news conference yesterday. Turkish letter will not be a letter of apology but instead will clarify Turkey’s position regarding the recent developments unfolding in Egypt and how Turkey attaches importance to this process being concluded peacefully through dialogue, The Hurrıyet Daily News & Econumic Review has learned from sources.
