@Mahmoud_EGY It cannot be purely economic and not be directed at Turkey. Remember that Saudi is also your neighbor, and has much more gas resources and is located closer to Egypt, and most probably would consider huge discounts if they decide to sell gas to Egypt. So, going for Cyprus is not logical, unless we consider the geopolitical factor.
IMO, Erdogan was/is harming Turkey's interests by supporting MB in Egpyt(MB of Egypt), Palestinians(Hamas), and MB allies like Qatar. But, the reality is that AKP of Turkey is also an offshoot of MB,
and he prefers his internationalist party interests over national interests of Turkey.
