CAIRO, Nov 23 (Aswat Masriya) Egypt withdrew its ambassador to Turkey and expelled the Turkish ambassador in Cairo on Saturday, said the state news agency MENA.

The Egyptian government has decided to trim down its diplomatic relations with Turkey, said the ministry’s spokesman, Badr Abdel A’ty. 

Turkey has been very outspoken in its criticism against what it describes as a "military coup”. 

Egypt’s army ousted President Mohamed Mursi in July following mass demonstrations against his rule.
