Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, on Monday blamed Egypt's "tyrants" for the death of Morsi.

"History will never forget those tyrants who led to his death by putting him in jail and threatening him with execution," Erdogan, a close ally of Morsi, said in a televised speech in Istanbul.

The Turkish leader called the former Egyptian president a "martyr," Turkey had been among Morsi's biggest supporters.

"May Allah rest our Morsi brother, our martyr's soul in peace," said Erdogan, who had forged close ties with the former president.

Thousands in Istanbul joined in prayer on Tuesday for Morsi on Tuesday. The prayer was called by Turkey's religious authority Diyanet and took place in the city's Fatih mosque.

Erdogan is expected to attend an absentee funeral for Morsi in Istanbul on Tuesday.
