Azerbaijan, Baku, July 9 / Trend, A. Taghiyeva /

Turkish Star TV journalists Murat Uslu and Zafer Karakash were detained in Egypt on Tuesday, Huriyet TV channel said today.

The Turkish embassy in Egypt has already intervened. The reason of their detention is being clarified.

Last Wednesday, the Egyptian military suspended the Constitution, ousted the President Mohamed Morsi, who was facing unprecedented protests and promised to hold early elections for a new president. Egyptian Islamists do not recognise these changes and demand that Morsi, who was legally elected, be allowed to return to power.
