ANKARA, September 4. (Itar-Tass). – The ambassador of Turkey to Egypt returns today in Cairo, according to reports of Turkish DHA news agency.

The leader of the diplomatic mission in Cairo was called off back home somewhat two weeks ago ‘for consultations’ after the military came to power and violent confrontation between supporters and opponent of overthrown president Mohammed Morsi began.

Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayip Erdogan repeatedly criticized actions of Egyptian defense officials during the clashes that claimed lives of hundreds of people. Erdogan noted the necessity of an emergent UN Security Council convening on the situation in Egypt.

Observers mention that the return of the ambassador may be considered a sign of normalization of relations between the two countries.
