More reactions have been coming in regarding the ongoing crackdown in Egypt.
Qatar
"Qatar strongly denounces the means by which peaceful protesters in Rabaa al-Adawiya camp and Al-Nahda square have been dealt with and which led to the
killing of several unarmed innocent people among them," a foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement published on the official QNA agency.
Britain
Britain has condemned the use of force by Egyptian police to clear two protest camps set up in Cairo by supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi, and called for restraint from security forces.
"I am deeply concerned at the escalating violence and unrest in Egypt," Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement.
"I condemn the use of force in clearing protests and call on the security forces to act with restraint."
Iran
The violence increased the likelihood of a civil war in Egypt, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said that Iran "while denouncing the violent clashes and condemning the killing of people, expresses its deep concern regarding the horrible consequences ...
"Undoubtedly the current approach to developments in Egypt strengthens the likelihood of civil war in this great Islamic country."
Turkey
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoganhas called on the UN Security Council and Arab League to take immediate steps to stop a "massacre" in
Egypt, saying international silence had paved the way for the Egyptian authorities' violent crackdown.
"The international community, especially the UN Security Council and Arab League, must act immediately to stop this massacre," Erdogan's office said in a statement.
