Newspapers wrong with Erdogan

Several Egyptian newspapers have misjudged the outcome of the military coup attempt in Turkey.

Newspapers were dropped before it became clear how the coup attempt in Turkey developed. Behind the news can sit political motives. In the summer of 2013, the Egyptian army put the elected Islamist President Mohammed Mursi after mass protests against him. Critics of the army spoke of a putsch. Mursi and his Muslim Brotherhood maintained good relations with Erdogan, who was then prime minister in Turkey.
