Turkey and Egypt are on the verge of restoring full diplomatic relations that could affect the entire region.
After years of animosity, Turkey and Egypt are working to restore ties.
Diplomatic relations collapsed in 2013 when Egypt’s current president led a military coup that overthrew democratically elected leader Mohamed Morsi.
Turkey has since taken in a number of Muslim Brotherhood figures who fled Egypt.
Ten years later, attempts to mend their relationship could have widespread repercussions across the region, damaging political ties, presidential elections and economies.
But what challenges do they face? And what does it mean for the region?
