Turkey's Erdogan slams world's 'double standards' on Egypt

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan accused Western and Arab nations of "double standards" for failing to condemn the overthrow of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, whose Muslim Brotherhood like Erdogan has Islamist roots.

"Countries which embrace and care about democracy should not behave with double standards towards these kinds of events and should say something is wrong when it is wrong," Erdogan told Western, Arab and other ambassadors late on Thursday. (Reuters)
