not elected. The government after a coup d'etat appointed you. And
moreover, it swore to you," he said.
The prime minister recalled that the former IAEA head received 1.5

consider Morsi Egypt's president because I respect the people of the

was not elected," Erdogan said.
Egyptians "will not sit out and have started the legitimate fight
against the coup d'etat", the Turkish prime minister said.
