After al-Sīsī’s statement that deposed Morsi, Azhar’s Grand Shaykh, Ahmad al-Tayyīb, and Coptic Orthodox Pope Tawadros II both made brief statements.

In al-Yawm al-Sābi’, al-Tayyīb supported the army statement to stop bloodshed in the country. Further, Pope Tawadros said that the announced road map was approved by all attendees. He added that this road map was prepared by noble people without debarring any one (Samīr Husnī, ‘Abd al-Wahāb al-Jindī and Ayman Ramadān, al-Yawm al-Sābi’, Jul. 4, p. 3).
