Egypt foreign minister to Kerry: No 'military coup'

None

Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr said he assured US Secretary of State John Kerry in a telephone call on Thursday that the overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi had not been a military coup.

 

Amr, a career diplomat who tendered his resignation to Morsi on Tuesday but who remains in charge of Egypt's foreign ministry said: "I hope that they (the US) read the situation in the right way, that this is not a military coup in any way. This was actually the overwhelming will of the people." (Reuters)
