Turkey's Gül congratulates Egypt's Sisi on his inauguration

Turkey's President Abdullah Gül congratulated Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on his inauguration as Egypt's president, the Turkish Office of Presidency said Wednesday.

In a message sent to the new leader, Gül said that he had no doubts that the deep-rooted relations between Turkey and Egypt would continue, and sent his best wishes for the peace, stability and well-being of the Egyptian people.

Sisi - who led the army's ousting last summer of elected President Mohamed Morsi-won last month's presidential election in a landslide victory, securing almost 97 percent of the vote.

In the official web page of the Presidency it was said that "Our reverend President has sent a message to the president of Egypt, wishing for peace within the fellow people of Egypt, and for the well-being and stability of the country."
