Davutoğlu spoke with the U.S. Secretary of State from Azerbaijan, saying the crackdown had hurt the efforts for normalization and reconciliation, Turkish Foreign Ministry sources told Anadolu Agency, SIA reports.
The diplomats also exchanged information on the talks they had held through the day, the report added. Kerry had spoken earlier with his Egyptian counterpart, while Davutoğlu held phone conversations with United Nations General Secretary Ban Ki-moon as well as his French and U.A.E. counterparts.
Davutoğlu and Kerry also discussed the role of the international community in stopping the bloodshed in Egypt and starting a new dialogue process. They also agreed to stay in close contact in the coming days.
Ankara adopted a harsh stance after Morsi was toppled in a military takeover July 3. The United States took a more cautious position, avoiding calling the takeover a "coup," a move that has prompted criticism from Turkish officials.
