Turkish FM Davutoglu condemns massacre in Egypt

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has condemned the attack outside the headquarters of the Republican Guard in Egypt's capital. "I strongly condemn the massacre during the morning prayers in the name of basic human values that we have been defending," Davutoglu wrote on his Twitter account. At least 42 Muslim Brotherhood supporters were killed earlier today when the army opened fire on protesters outside an elite army headquarters in Cairo. "Despite provocations, we expect from our Egyptian brothers to protect democracy and free will in dignity," Davutoglu added. The foreign minister urged the start of a political normalization process respecting the people's will. "Egypt is the hope for the rising demand for democracy in the Middle East and Turkey will always be in solidarity with the Egyptian people," he said.
