John Kerry tries to clarify comment on Egypt

London: Secretary of State John Kerry is seeking to clarify controversial remarks he made about the crises in Egypt. On Friday, Kerry told Geo TV in Pakistan that the Egyptian military did not take over and oust President Mohammed Morsi, but instead was “restoring democracy” in Egypt.

In London on Friday, Kerry insisted that all of the parties — the pro-Morsi supporters and the military — be inclusive and work toward a peaceful resolution of the crisis. He says the interim government should respect demonstrators and the protesters have a responsibility not to prevent the nation from moving forward. AP
