Turkey risks endangering ties with the international community because of its support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. But an Erdogan aide says Ankara faces not isolation but a "precious loneliness."
Turkish
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's criticism of the July 3 coup and the
bloody crackdown in Egypt has sparked an angry diplomatic row between Ankara
and Cairo.
Egypt
accused Turkey's Islamic-conservative Justice and Development Party (AKP)
government for interfering in its internal affairs. Extending strong support to
the Muslim Brotherhood, members of the AKP government accused the
military-backed regime in Egypt of committing crimes against humanity.
The two
countries recalled their ambassadors for consultations, the latest sign of
worsening relations between two strategically important countries in the Muslim
world.

"I
think Turkey was right to define the situation as a coup from the very
beginning and to strongly condemn it in the international arena," Yakis
told DW. "One can criticize anti-democratic developments, but there is no
need to be at loggerheads with the current regime in Egypt."
Erdogan
angers all
Erdogan has
been a vocal opponent of the military regime in Egypt that ousted his close
ally, former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Over the last two years,
Erdogan's AKP government extended its support to Morsi and the Muslim
Brotherhood, not only due to their ideological closeness, but also due to
Turkey's aspirations of gaining clout in the region. After Morsi's removal from
office, however, Ankara saw its influence in Cairo decline.
On Tuesday,
Erdogan accused Western countries as well as the Islamic world, of failing to
stand against the coup and the bloody crackdown in Egypt. He also said he had
documents showing Israel had a hand in events in Egypt.
Erdogan's
remarks angered not only the Israeli and the Egyptian governments, but also
sparked a strong condemnation by the US government.
"We
strongly condemn the statements that were made by Prime Minister Erdogan,"
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters. "Suggesting that Israel
is somehow responsible for recent events in Egypt is offensive, unsubstantiated
and wrong."

Isolation or "precious loneliness"?
According
to international relations professor Ihsan Dagi, Turkey's foreign policy is
unlike that of any other country in the region and is troubling Turkey's
relations with other countries. "aEven among the Muslim nations, there is
no country that has a similar position to us on Egypt," he wrote in his
column for the daily "Zaman."
Dagi said
Turkey should return to Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's "no problems
with the neighbors" policy and focus on dialogue and cooperation.
But despite
the criticism, the Turkish government does not seem willing to alter its
approach.
If critics
were correct, then Turkey's current position in the Middle East should not be
seen as "isolation," but rather as a "precious loneliness"
that comes from sticking to Turkey's morals and principles, tweeted Ibrahim
Kalin, Erdogan's chief foreign policy advisor.
Former
foreign minister Yakis' said the weeks ahead will be difficult for Turkey.
"We
are likely to face serious differences with the Gulf states, the US and other
Western countries," he said.

“… You Can See It In Your News
The final item is this: All around you, dear ones, is proof of what I'm telling you. You have two countries currently in turmoil at the moment, and a third one about to go. All three have been stable for a very long time. Who would have thought that Egypt would be part of this? Egypt seemed to be in balance for decades - or was it? Syria ruled itself with an iron hand and created a stability of power that was absolute. What would then cause these to erupt the way they did and at this time? If you take a look at why, and why now, you'll see the timing is all around 2013 and 2012. And it's around Human consciousness that is starting to be more transparent and saying, "We don't want what we now understand and see is continuing unbalance in our country. We see it never getting better, and now we want finality and we want resolution." That is what you're looking at.
It's ugly to look at this, for there is death, suffering, sorrow and turmoil. There is frustration, and the resolution of it all may take longer than you want it to. But someday you will look back and see the results clearly. Mass Human consciousness is starting to change and demand what it expects in the way of integrity. Governments often want the old ways of power, but their people want schools, hospitals, safe streets and parks, and peace with their neighbors.
So expect more of this, especially this year. The more turmoil you see, the more the puzzle is being worked with. So we close this message the way we started it. I know who you are, magnificent one. I sit at your feet in awe. Do not miss this point! Old souls have been here through all of the transitions of humanity. Do you understand that? Four times you came close to this shift you are today experiencing and four times you missed it. Four times you died in the process of trying. This time you didn't.
Do not miss this: There is something within your Akash, a "remembrance button", that is being pushed and plays an emotion that says, "We've felt this before and it didn't turn out well." Don't let this energy define you. It's the button of duality and fear that says things are always the way they are and they will repeat themselves because that's just the way life works. No it isn't! You are magnificent and you have the ability at this point to finally begin to see it, and to cast all the fears and the voices in the back seat of life and tell them you are in charge now and you are the one driving the car of your reality. That's the message of the day. ….”
