(Hadalsame) 15 March 2021<\/strong> <\/span>– Every Muslim in the world wishes to see the differences between Muslim countries get resolved, their relations restored, and the wounds in the Muslim body politic healed in order to return to being a strong structure able to face the challenges it faces. This will help the Ummah around the world, but it cannot happen unless the leaders of these Muslim countries agree on the basis of the main goals of the Ummah as a minimum level of understanding. Details are not essential, as the devil is in the detail.<\/p>\n They must also redefine friend and foe, because the meaning has been lost amid the crazy struggle for leadership of the Muslim world. They have been blinded and have handed it over to the enemies who have given the Ummah a taste of humiliation and disgrace.<\/p>\n I mention the leaders of the Muslim countries specifically, because the Muslim people know the Ummah’s goals well, and their belief in the principles has never been shaken. They do not need to redefine who is their friend and who is their enemy.<\/p>\n This is how I feel on hearing the news of the imminent reconciliation between Turkey and Egypt on the one hand, and Turkey and Saudi Arabia on the other. Ankara has been flirting with Cairo in recent months, and has been met with positive statements from the Egyptians. The latest of these was Egypt’s announcement of a tender for hydrocarbon energy exploration which took into consideration the southern edge of Turkey’s continental shelf referred to in the Turkish-Libyan maritime border agreement.<\/p>\n Turkish Minister of Defence Hulusi Akar welcomed this, and stressed that it serves the rights of the Egyptian people. This is undeniable, because the agreement with Libya provides Egypt with 11,500 square kilometres in the Mediterranean, which is much larger than the area in the Cairo-Athens agreement. The Greeks are dismayed by this new Egyptian position, which suggests the possibility of a memorandum of understanding between Cairo and Ankara to demarcate their maritime borders in the eastern Mediterranean.<\/p>\n It’s a blow to Greece, which along with France has made a great effort to exclude Turkey from the area. I think they will continue to plot against Turkey and try to block such a memorandum. The Greek prime minister rushed to contact Egypt’s president, and the foreign minister dashed to Cairo to meet his Egyptian counterpart. I do not know what happened during their talks, but reading between the lines I am certain that Cairo will not change its stance towards the eastern Mediterranean. It has abandoned its vindictive policy against Ankara, which made it sign an agreement with Athens to spite Turkey; this time is over.<\/p>\n Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that it is possible to negotiate with Egypt on maritime borders depending on progress made in mutual relations. Just a few months ago, he hinted about contact with Egypt at the intelligence level, in addition to diplomatic dialogue, to strengthen relations. This was confirmed by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan last Friday.<\/p>\n Indeed, a meeting took place between Cavusoglu and his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shukry on the sidelines of international meetings last year, in which they stressed the need to work on a roadmap for the restoration of relations between their countries.<\/p>\n “A new chapter can be opened, a new page can be turned in our relationship with Egypt as well as other Gulf countries to help regional peace and stability,” Erdogan’s spokesman Ibrahim Kalin told\u00a0Bloomberg.<\/em>\u00a0“Egypt is an important country in the Arab world and remains the brain of the Arab World; it is the heart of the Arab world.”<\/p>\n \n
