Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry stated that Egypt appreciates recent statements made by Turkey, as it shows an interest in moving to a stage of political openness, which he hopes will lead to further action. Shoukry added during a telephone interview with the “Cairo Talk” program that if Turkey suspending hostile channels was documented and stable, then it takes into account the rules of international law by not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. “What we care about is closing the Brotherhood’s channels, and this is considered a positive development,” he said. Regarding Lebanon, Shoukry added that “We care about the Lebanese issue as (Lebanese) people have suffered in the recent period. Fugitive Muslim Brotherhood journalist, Moataz Matar recently announced the suspension of his program “With Moataz”, which was broadcast on the al-Sharq channel from Turkey, according to Shoukry.
