Turkey criticise Kerry's remarks on Egypt

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag slammed U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's remarks that the Egyptian military were not taking over power but rather " restoring democracy," Turkish Today's Zaman reported Friday. Kerry was quoted as saying "the military did not take over, to the best of our judgment, so far. To run the country, there's a civilian government. In effect, they were restoring democracy." He said millions of Egyptian people asked the military to intervene because they were afraid that the country would descend into violence. To refute Kerry's remarks, Bozdag retorted "did the army establish democracy in the United States and the EU too? Coup does not build democracy, on the contrary, it demolishes and massacres. "
