| President Sisi |"In all due respect Mr. Erdogan, I don't see why you are so keen on keeping an alliance with Saudi Arabia, and keen on having bad relations with me. The Persian Gulf Pact, is our main threat. Baghdad, Tehran, Riyadh, are all near you and on your border, and yet you are not concerned about it. In my view, an Egypto-Turkish alliance is the only way for us to keep dominance in the Middle East."
