Turkey has denied reports that it suspended the cooperation agreements it signed with Egypt during Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's visit to Cairo last November after 72 Muslim Brotherhood supporters were shot dead by security forces following the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi on July 3.

Official sources denied the reports claiming that Turkey decided to suspend a number of cooperation agreements and said no plan of the kind is on the agenda, according to Today's Zaman.

The North African country is expected to acquire 10 Ankas (unmanned aerial vehicles) from Turkey.

Turkey is one of the countries that most loudly criticized the overthrow of Morsi through a military intervention.

The same sources also said that Ahmet Yıldız, the new Turkish ambassador appointed to Cairo, has delayed the start of his mission in the North African country, noting that Hüseyin Avni Botsalı, the current Turkish ambassador in Cairo, would remain in his mission until the political turmoil in the country has settled down to a certain degree.
