Egyptian president hails ‘Syrian revolution’ in Tehran non-aligned summit
Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi hailed “brave” Syrians and Palestinians for their struggle against oppression during his speech at the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Tehran on Thursday.
Contrary to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ignored the Syrian conflict in his opening speech, Mursi said that Egypt is “ready” to aid and help the Syrian revolution.
He said that the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad has lost legitimacy and the international community must work to stop the bloodshed in the country.
“Our solidarity with the struggle of the Syrian people against an oppressive regime that has lost its legitimacy is an ethical duty as it is a political and strategic necessity,” he said.
The Syrian delegation, meanwhile, left the non-aligned meeting when Mursi criticized the Syrian government. After the end of the summit, regime of President Bashar al-Assad said in a statement that Mursi is inciting violence in Syria when he criticized Damascus.
The Egyptian leader also said that it is not “acceptable” that none of the African nations have permanent membership in the U.N. Security Council, which he urged for it to be more “representative.”

Don't even bother, you don't represent but yourself as it's proved by Egypt official policy toward Iran and Egyptians. Man, you even liked the most racist Israeli members (Ptex) here whose posts were full of insults to Palestinians in the terrorist attacks on Egyptian soldiers' thread, and it turned the terrorists weren't Palestinians but Egyptians. He himself insulted Egyptians and called them (vile creatures) many times and it seems ok for you. Yet, I am wondering, if you have heard of Stockholm syndrome...
Morsi deliberately hails Omar, Abu Baker, Othman and Ali (RD) in the summit.
Morsi:
May Allah bless our leaders Omar, Abu Baker, Othman and Ali (RD).
