The sources added to Al-Arabiya Network that Cairo suspended talks with Ankara until the Egyptian demands were quickly met, noting that Turkey's slowdown in withdrawing mercenaries from Libya led the suspension of meetings with Egypt.

Al-Arabiya sources said that Ankara demanded repeatedly to withdraw its military advisors and members from Libya, while Egypt demanded Turkey for an immediate and unconditional withdrawal from Libya.

The sources added that Ankara suspended a number of the Brotherhood’s activities, but Cairo demanded permanent measures, and handover of Yahya Mussa and Alaa al-Samahi, but Turkey asked to be slow.

According to Al-Arabiya sources, Turkey pledged to implement more measures against Brotherhood channels before end of Ramadan, but Egypt informed Turkey of the need to accelerate measures against Brotherhood channels.
