#RNN | #Egypt | #Turkey | Erdogan refused to sit at the same table with Al-Sisi Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan revealed that he refused to attend a meeting with Egyptian President and coup leader Abdul-Fattah Al-Sisi on the margins of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York last month, PLS48 news website reported on Monday. During a speech at a Turkish university to mark the new Islamic year, Erdogan also criticised the double standards of the Western media for not giving equal attention to the same issues in different places, for example the coverage of Israels war on Gaza and the fighting in Kobani, northern Syria. The Turkish president said that last month he was invited to a meeting with other presidents in New York, including Al-Sisi, but he refused the invitation. Siting at the table with Al-Sisi gives him legitimacy, PLS48 quoted him as saying. And I am not a leader lacking legitimacy
