埃及政府对前总统穆尔西的支持者进行镇压,造成多人死伤之后,支持穆尔西的穆斯林国家纷纷对埃及进行谴责。

欧洲国家敦促军队支持下的埃及临时政府和伊斯兰主义反对派避免暴力升级,并恢复政治对话。

土耳其总理埃尔多安指责埃及安全部队星期三对穆尔西支持者的镇压是“屠杀”。他敦促联合安理会和阿拉伯联盟立即采取行动制止。土耳其总统古尔指责说,埃及政府对平民进行暴力干预是不能接受的。

埃及当局说,有些抗议者携带武器,并且向安全部队开枪。

埃及军方七月3号在埃及首位民选领导人穆尔西任职一年之后罢免了他的总统职务。在国际上,土耳其是这一决定的最强烈的批评者之一。

埃及军方说,他们是在对人民的意愿做出反应。之前世俗的埃及人举行大规模抗议活动, 指责穆尔西反民主。   

联合国秘书长潘基文的发言人说,潘基文以最强硬的方式谴责埃及的暴力。他对埃及当局选择用武力对付伊斯兰主义示威活动感到遗憾。 不过这位发言人还说, 联合国秘书长也知道大多数埃及人厌倦了示威和反示威给民众正常生活造成的影响。 他们希望自己的国家在埃及人主导的进程中和平地向前迈进。

The Egyptian government's deadly crackdown on supporters of former Islamist President Mohamed Morsi has drawn condemnation from leaders of Muslim nations who backed the ousted leader.

European powers urged the military-backed interim government and its Islamist opponents to avoid an escalation of violence and return to a political dialogue.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan described Wednesday's crackdown by Egyptian security forces on pro-Morsi protest camps in Cairo as a "massacre." He urged the U.N. Security Council and the Arab League to act immediately to stop it.

Turkish President Abdullah Gul accused the Egyptian government of staging an armed intervention against civilians and called that "unacceptable." Egyptian authorities said some of the protesters were armed and fired at security forces.

Ankara was one of the strongest international critics of the Egyptian military's decision to oust Morsi on July 3, one year after he took office as Egypt's first democratically elected leader.

The military said it acted in response to what it called the will of the people after mass protests by secular Egyptians who accused Mr. Morsi of being anti-democratic.

A spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the U.N. chief condemns the violence in Egypt in the strongest terms, and regrets that Egyptian authorities chose to use force against the mostly Islamist demonstrations.

However, the spokesman also said the U.N. chief also is "well aware that the vast majority of the Egyptian people [are] weary of disruptions to normal life caused by demonstrations and counter-demonstrations, and want their country to go forward peacefully in an Egyptian-led process."
