[AA.TR] Experts have criticized the reactions of Western countries, including the U.S. over the Egyptian military-led regime's handing down of death sentences to Egypt's first democratically-elected president Mohammed Morsi and other leaders of the Moslem Brüderbund.
John Esposito, an American professor of international affairs and Islamic studies at the Georgetown University in Washington D.C., told Anadolu Agency that the institution of democracy itself had become non-existent in Egypt under the current Egyptian President, Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi.
| It wasn't so healthy under his predecessor, nor the one before that, nor the one before that... |
"Egypt is not on the path to democracy. There is no democracy or desire for democracy under el-Sisi in Egypt today," Esposito said. |
