Istanbul: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday paid tribute to former Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi who died in a Cairo hospital after fainting during a court session, calling him a "martyr."
"May Allah rest our Morsi brother, our martyr's soul in peace," said Erdogan, who had forged close ties with Morsi.
