Description

Turkish Prime Recep Minister Tayyip Erdogan received on Sept. 13 an enthusiastic welcome in Egypt at the start of a North African tour, which asserted Turkey's role as a friend and helper of the popular movements that have toppled long-standing Arab leaders. Boosted in the eyes of the Arab public by his sparring with Israel, Erdogan addressed the 22-member Arab League and held talks with the military council steering post-Hosni Mubarak Egypt to civilian rule amid rising popular anger against Israel. Erdogan, who has recently clashed with Israeli leaders repeatedly, was met by Essam Sharaf, the head of an interim cabinet that answers to the military council, and a rapturous crowd of several thousand. They clapped and cheered as the two men came from the tarmac at Cairo airport hand-in-hand to greet them that night. Many appeared to be from Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brothers, who see Erdogan as a role model because of his success in bringing Islamists into mainstream Turkish politics.
