BRUSSELS (AA) - NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Thursday that he had serious worries over the situation in Egypt and the Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi ousted by coup d'etat.
Holding a press conference, Rasmussen told "I am gravely concerned by the situation in Egypt, hearing news of clashes and deaths."
"I call on everyone to show restraint and refrain from violence, to respect human rights, including the rights of minorities, and the supremacy of law and to work to establish a democratic and inclusive civilian government as soon as possible," he said.
Rasmussen stressed that it was of key importance to find a solution that would pave the way for restrengthening the Egyptian democracy within the shortest time.
