Istanbul: Turkish Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan Tuesday called on the Egyptian
leadership to ensure a democratic solution to the political
unrest, the semi-official Anatolia Agency reported.
"No power can remain deaf to the democratic demands of the people.
No power can remain standing in defiance of the people," Erdogan
said at a meeting of members of his ruling AK Party in the Turkish
parliament.
Erdogan appealed directly to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak,
advising him to "listen to the people's demands in the most humane
way. Meet the people's wish for change without hesitation".
The Turkish premier said he had spoken on the phone with US
President Barack Obama Monday night and that the two share the
same views on the need for a democratic and peaceful outcome in
Egypt.
Turkey has recently taken an increasingly active foreign policy
role in the region and Turkish leaders have said the country
should serve as a democratic model for other nations in the Middle
East.
