The president of the Arab Republic of Egypt is the commander of the armed forces, full stop.

Egypt now is a real civil state. It is not theocratic, it is not military. It is democratic, free, constitutional, lawful and modern.

Freedom of expression comes with responsibilities, especially when it comes with serious implications for peace.

The situation in Egypt is stable. We are ready for tourism and investment.

There cannot be peace in the Middle East without giving Palestinians their full rights.

The world is not uni-cultural. We must live together rather than seeking to dominate each other. The people in the world cannot accept domination anymore.

Egyptians are always and will always be supportive of their Palestinian brothers, all Palestinians.

I never meant to antagonize anyone.

I will not use my legislative powers except in a very limited framework.

I will treat everyone equally and be a servant of the Egyptian people.

The revolutions of the Arab Spring happened because people realized they were the power.

There is a positive and personal relationship between the Egyptian people and the Syrian people.

We Egyptians reject any kind of assault or insult against our prophet.

If you want to judge the performance of the Egyptian people by the standards of German or Chinese or American culture, then there is no room for judgment.

I will not betray my country.

Egypt is practicing its very normal role on its soil and does not threaten anyone and there should not be any kind of international or regional concerns at all from the presence of Egyptian security forces.

We all have to announce our full solidarity with the struggle of those seeking freedom and justice in Syria, and translate this sympathy into a clear political vision that supports a peaceful transition to a democratic system of rule that reflects the demands of the Syrian people for freedom.

When the Egyptians decide something, probably it is not appropriate for the U.S. When the Americans decide something, this, of course, is not appropriate for Egypt.
