(Before It's News)

Turkey has denounced the overthrow of Egypt™s democratically-elected President Mohamed Morsi as an ˜illegitimate™ military coup, saying Ankara does not accept the move, Press TV reports.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Thursday, œTurkey does not accept the removal and detention of elected leaders from power through illegitimate means. The democratically-elected leaders should only be ousted at ballot boxes.”

œWhatever the reason is, it is unacceptable that a democratically-elected government was overthrown by illegitimate means, even more, with a military coup,” the Turkish minister added, calling for an immediate end to Morsi™s arrest.

On July 3, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, head of the Egyptian army, declared that President Morsi was no longer in office and announced the suspension of the country™s constitution after days of massive anti-government protests across Egypt.

The chief justice of Egypt™s Supreme Constitutional Court, Adli Mansour, was sworn in as interim president of the country on July 4.

The Egyptian military said Morsi was being held œpreventively.”

In this regard, Turkish NGO IHH held a press conference in the city of Istanbul, calling for an end to violence in Egypt.

Huseyin Oruc, vice president of the IHH, told Press TV, œThere is only one common actor for all these things. It is Israel.” Oruc added that the Tel Aviv regime is behind similar incidents happening in other countries such as Syria.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan also held a meeting in Istanbul to address the situation in Egypt amid nationwide protests calling for his own resignation.

Analysts say the events taking place in Egypt could have serious consequences for the Turkish government. Turkish officials also believe that the recent developments in Egypt could change the situation in Syria.

    Your turn is coming, all the leaders in Turkey will get the same done to them. For the same reasons, supporting the western/israHell militants. Its only obvious they would disapprove of this even if the masses have spoken, they are worried it will happen to them, The USA, UK and Turkey are in danger of this happening, and they are so scarred they are shaking.
    This also was not a military coo, like they would want you to believe, it was the military acting on behalf of the people. But it the West tries to plant another puppet, the same will happen.
