________________________
In light of what has been allegedly repeated by some people in mass media, seeking to interpret the statement of the General Command of the Armed Forces as "a military coup", the military establishment would like to highlight the following:
- The doctrine and culture of the Armed Forces do not allow the adoption of any "military-coup-based" policies. The Egyptian military took to the streets in several events in 1977, 1986, and 2011, and there was no coup. In stead, the Egyptian military always stands by the will and aspirations of the glorious Egyptian people for change and reform.
- The aim of the Armed Forces' statement is to push all political parties nationwide to quickly find solutions for the current crisis and reach a formula of national compromise that complies with the demands of the Egyptian people.
- In addition, we stress that the statement of the General Command of the Armed Forces comes out as an interaction with the pulse of the Egyptian street. The statement points out clearly that the Armed Forces will never be a party in politics or ruling, and will not accept any role beyond that drawn up in the genuine democratic ideology driven from the will of the people.
