Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday through his Twitter account that Turkey is not intervening in the internal affairs of other countries, but only supports justice.

"Turkey is not intervening in the domestic politics of any country, but it considers itself a voice for its friends and the oppressed and aims at having their voices heard," said Erdogan's post in Arabic.

Turkey has described the ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi by the military earlier this month as an "unacceptable coup", which was denounced by Egypt who in response summoned Turkey's ambassador to Cairo, warning Ankara not to meddle in its internal affairs.
