Pope Tawadros stated in a meeting with a delegation of the British House of Commons and House of Lords  that June 30 was a popular revolution in which the church and the Azhar participated. The army intervened to fulfill the demands of the people. He stated that the Church has paid the price by having 1000 churches [translators note:  this is an exaggeration] burnt by terrorists (Marco ‘Adil, al- Akhbār, Feb. 3, p. 4). Read original text in Arabic.
