UN avoided using the word of 'coup' for what happened in Egypt despite Egyptian army's seizure of government was not found rightful according to the sources of UN.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon reacted to army's takeover of government and asked the government to be transferred to civilians, said a statement after military coup in Egypt.
Although he condemned the fire opened on civilians and asked an independent commission to ascertain the perpetrators, Ban Ki-moon did not call army's intervention as military coup.
Ban Ki-moon's spokesman Martin Nesirky answered the journalists' questions about the incident in a press conference.
Asked why UN did not describe what happened in Egypt as military coup, Nesirky said, "I think Secretary-General's statements about this issue are quite explicit. He doesn't approve army's interference in state affairs and said government should be given to civilians. This statement shows our attitude."
