Let me begin by stepping back for a moment. I want to be clear that America wants to be a partner in the Egyptian people's pursuit of a better future. And we are guided by our national interest in this long- standing relationship. But our partnership must also advance the principles that we believe in, and that so many Egyptians have sacrificed for these last several years. No matter what party or faction they belong to. So America will work with all those in Egypt and around the world who support a future of stability that rests on a foundation of justice, and peace and dignity. While Mohamed Morsi was elected president in a democratic election, his government was not inclusive, and did not respect the views of all Egyptian. We know that many Egyptians, millions of Egyptians, perhaps even a majority of Egyptians were calling for a change in course. And while we do not believe that force is the way to resolve political differences, after the military's intervention several weeks ago, there remained a chance for reconciliation. And an opportunity to pursue a democratic path. Instead, we've seen a more dangerous path taken. While we want to sustain our relationship with Egypt, our traditional cooperation cannot continue as usual when civilians are being killed in the streets and rights are being rolled back. As a result, this morning we notified the Egyptian government that we are canceling our bi- annual joint military exercise, which was scheduled for next month. The cycle of violence and escalation needs to stop. We call on the Egyptican authorities to respect the universal rights of the people. We call on those who are protesting to do so peacefully, and condemn the attacks that we've seen by protesters, including on churches. We believe that the state of emergency should be lifted, that a process of national reconciliation should begin, that all parties need to have a voice in Egypt's future. That the rights of women and religious minorities should be respected, and that commitments must be kept to pursue transparent reforms of the Constitution. And democratic elections made parliament and a president. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Obama Condemns Egyptian Violence","description":"President Barack Obama spoke out against the recent violence in Egypt, cancelling joint military excercise but not stopping aid.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/Hh969Hrv/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2013-08-15T16:26:24.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/Hh969Hrv.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/Hh969Hrv/","duration":"PT2M33S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/Hh969Hrv/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
