Egypt to uphold treaties, help Syrian people: Mursi

(Reuters) - Islamist President Mohamed Mursi said on Saturday that Egypt would work to end bloodshed in Syria and pledged to uphold international agreements, in a nod to Israel which is worried about the future of its 33-year-old peace treaty.

"We carry a message of peace to the world," Mursi said in his first public address as president, broadcast on state television. "We emphasize the state of Egypt's commitment to international treaties and agreements."

"Egypt today is a supporter of the Palestinian and Syrian people. Spilling the Syrian people's blood has to stop. We will exert efforts to achieve that in the near future," he said.

"Egyptians will not export the revolution. We do not interfere in the affairs of others ... and at the same time we do not permit anyone to interfere in our affairs," he said. Some Gulf Arab states have shown concerns that the rise of Islamists could unsettle their conservative monarchies.

3. I think the news has yet to be reported from the other side of the bipolar 3rd world camp

That other side is currently upset with Turkish moves on Syria....

....the camps built for the Syrian refugees inside Turkey have been set up to function as a military base for the Syrian opposition, from which weapons are transferred to armed groups inside Syria.

The criticism comes as Ankara has ordered the deployment of troops and military equipment on its border with Syria after Syria downed a Turkish F4 Phantom warplane. Damascus has said that the aircraft was shot down, while violating the country’s airspace.

I can't wait for the theocracy's OpEd rebuttal of Egypt

5. PressTV?

Do you know that Iranians are running the show INSIDE Syria. That Hezbollah are fighting with the Syrian regime INSIDE Syria.

That any air planes bombing civilians from the air are not being piloted by Syrians?

[may3rd]

7. Got a link to that claim that planes are bombing civilians from the air ?

ther are ALL brands of kool aid out there,
which flavor do you like in media choice ?

oh
the one that tells the truth
of course

[tabatha]

8. There are plenty of videos.

And please don't accuse me of drinking the kool aid when you cannot provide evidence that there are not.

When a person runs out of facts, they use ad hominems.Btw, PressTV is drinking the kool aid.

There are PLENTY more ....

Funny, how those who know the least, insult the most. So right wing, so authoritarian.

15. I suggest you chicken hawks put on the boots

and go take the fight to them


<crickets>


You freepers are always beating the war drum and sending the poor off to do the fighting


why ?

4. Not on the same day?

I checked the date - and also saw that it was not reported anywhere else.

[dipsydoodle]

6. Never mind

I'm always picky about stuff more than 12 hour in LBN. As you said - at least it wasn't a duplicate.

11. You know...

We could use someone who pays attention to these things here...

9. So then I wonder if he can lift the blockade against Gaza.

If he does so, I'm sure many people in Gaza will be happy. I'm quite sure that increasing economic cooperation (as much as possible per the Israeli authorities) would also be appreciated.

[tabatha]

10. The Syrian resolution could be a game changer.

The Palestinians are on the side of the Syrian revolution; so are the Egyptians, Libyans, Tunisians and the Israelis.

[David__77]

12. I'm not sure that he will have much say in foreign policy.

We'll see. He may have a say with regard to the border though. Egypt has much more influence on Gaza.

13. Morsi has been very thoughtful. I think he can and will.

It will just take some bit of time.

14. Kurds walk out of Syrian opposition meeting

A meeting of Syrian opposition groups in Cairo turned into a melee after a Syrian Kurdish group walked out and scuffles and fistfights broke out.

"The Kurds withdrew because the conference rejected an item that says the Kurdish people must be recognized," Abdel Aziz Othman of the National Kurdish Council said on Tuesday after the end of the two-day conference, Reuters reported.

"This is unfair and we will no longer accept to be marginalized," he added.

Perhaps Turkey will give them a springboard to voice their basic human rights
