Islamist Nour Party to help shape new Egyptian constitution
None
Egypt's Nour Party said on Monday it could join the assembly writing a new constitution, adding Islamist support to the military's political transition plan following its overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi last month.
Nour, the second largest Islamist party after Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, said it had reservations about the fact that the constitutional amendments would take place under an appointed interim president: "But in spite of that, the party does not object to taking part in the committee of 50 to defend the right of the nation in protecting its constitution," Nour said in a statement.
