Turkey requests Egyptian opposition channels tone down criticism of Sisi
2021-03-19
[MIDDLEEASTEYE.NET] Ottoman Turkish authorities have requested Egyptian opposition channels based in the country soften their criticism of the government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi amid a rapprochement between the two regional powers, sources have told Middle East Eye.

A senior Ottoman Turkish government official who was briefed about the issue told MEE on Thursday that the heads of Mekameleen and al-Sharq, two Egyptian satellite TV channels, were told to tone down their criticism of the Egyptian government.

"They were just asked to soften their political criticisms against the Egyptian government and stop personally attacking Sisi," the official said on condition of anonymity.
