LONDON (AA) - British Foreign Secretary William Hague has said, the UK did not support military intervention as a way to resolve disputes in a democratic system in Egypt.
Hague referring to the recent events in Egypt said, "The situation is clearly dangerous and we call on all sides to show restraint and avoid violence."
"We continue to advise British citizens to avoid all non-essential travel to Egypt apart from the Red Sea resorts, and to monitor travel advice from the Foreign Office", foreign secretary added.
"The United Kingdom does not support military intervention as a way to resolve disputes in a democratic system. The chance of a democratic future was hard won for Egypt by the Egyptian people two and a half years ago. But looking forward, we call on all parties to show the leadership and vision needed to restore and renew Egypt’s democratic transition. It is vital for them to respond to the strong desire of the Egyptian people for faster economic and political progress for their country," Hague said.
British Foreign Secretary Hague urged Egyptian leaders to show a real determination to work together and said, "In the long run only democratic processes and government by consent will bring the stability and prosperity that the people of Egypt seek."
