​​​​​​​Sources: Egypt holds on to conditions it placed on Turkey

Egypt has not yet set determined on dates for a meeting with Turkish officials, depending on the scale to which Egyptian conditions and controls are implemented, according to the sources.

The sources told Al-Arabiya Network that Turkey has called again for holding security meetings with Egypt, and the matter is in the consultation phase, while Egypt demanded Turkey again to implement the vows it had set to start the meetings.

Cairo informed the Turkish side that voicing goodwill alone is not enough, and that it is necessary to implement the Egyptian recommendations without delay.

The sources indicated that the meetings will be security in the period ahead, and that the Turkish intelligence has called again for mutual security coordination and discussion of the outstanding issues.

It added that contacts continues, and Cairo insists on handing over the required elements and not to suspend this file or remove it from discussions between the two countries.

With regard to the file of the full restoration of diplomatic relations and the exchange of ambassadors, the sources said that no date has been set for this matter now, and discussions about it depend on the implementation of the Egyptian provisions and the respect of the Egyptian state.

The sources revealed that a number of Brotherhood businessmen and leaders decided to leave for London and America in the coming months, and that others would refrain from political work.

It added that two Turkish businessmen withdrew from funding operations for Brotherhood-affiliated channels entirely, based on instructions from Turkish security.

Ankara has offered to deport a number of Brotherhood members to other countries, while Cairo insists on handing over those involved in terrorist acts and not just deporting from Turkey, and the file is pending and is still under discussion.

The sources pointed out that Ankara also decided to stop any meetings between the brothers of Egypt and Libya on Turkish territory, and warned against any meetings of political arrangements between the brothers in Cairo and Libya, and called on leaders concerned to implement this.

The sources dealt with Turkish approaches to stop any media escalation against Egypt and the Arab countries and work to implement the conditions required of Cairo according to a timetable.

Instructions to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Yassin Aktay, were instructed by Turkish intelligence not to criticize Cairo, to reduce communication with Brotherhood members, and not to address the Egyptian issue in his statements.

Turkish officials also issued warnings not to address the Egyptian issue to prevent new exacerbations in relations with Cairo, especially after the Egyptian reservations about statements of Turkish officials dealing with the Egyptian issue.
