Baqer Hosseini, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Irans Majlis on Friday urged the Egyptian nation to end the violence in the country and strengthen their unity to build a better country for themselves as well as future generations.
Instead of such clashes, the [Egyptian] people had better seek the best solution, and avoid conflict and violence if there are differences of opinion among them, the Iranian legislator pointed out.
On Thursday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also called for an end to the unrest in Egypt, saying the continuation of violence in the Arab country will harm a strong pillar in the region, which will lead to a rise in the number of casualties on all sides, and that will only serve the interests of the enemy.
Tension in Egypt has intensified since the Egyptian army overthrew President Mohamed Morsi, suspended the constitution, dissolved the parliament on July 3 and declared the chief justice of Egypts Supreme Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour, as interim president the following day.
Dozens of people have since been killed in the wave of violent clashes between Morsi supporters, his opponents and security forces.
