The sources revealed that a number of Brotherhood businessmen and leaders decided to leave for London and America in the coming months, and that others would refrain from political work.
She added that two Turkish businessmen withdrew from funding operations of Brotherhood channels completely, based on instructions from Turkish security.
Ankara has offered to deport a number of Brotherhood members who are on its territory to other countries, while Cairo insists on handing over those involved in terrorist operations and not just deporting from Turkey, and the file is pending and is still under discussion.
The sources dealt with Turkish approaches to stop any media escalation against Egypt and the Arab countries and work to implement the conditions required of Cairo according to a timetable.
The sources indicated that Ankara also decided to stop any meetings between the brothers of Egypt and Libya on Turkish territory, and warned against any meetings of political arrangements between the brothers in Cairo and Libya, and called on leaders concerned to implement this.
Instructions to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Yassin Aktay, were instructed by Turkish intelligence not to criticize Cairo, to reduce communication with Brotherhood members, and not to address the Egyptian issue in his statements.
Turkish officials also issued warnings not to address the Egyptian issue to prevent new exacerbations in relations with Cairo, especially after the Egyptian reservations about statements of Turkish officials dealing with the Egyptian issue.
