Is Egypt boycott Turkish products?

Is Egypt really boycotting Turkish products? Efforts in Egypt to boycott Turkish products are gaining momentum, Ahval reports. Calls for a boycott against Turkey became Egyptian social media’s hottest trending topic last month, with 12,000 tweets including the hashtag “boycott Turkish products,” according to Youm7. Tweets with the hashtag included demands for the Egyptian government to take action against businessmen importing products from Turkey, and claims that buying the products would “contribute to the killing of Egyptians.” The newspaper also reported that the call for a boycott gained support from Arab countries. Saudi pan-Arab broadcaster MBC has received instructions to remove all Turkish programming from all of its channels until further notice, MBC Group spokesman Mazen Hayek tells The National.
