US Secretary of State John Kerry said that the Egyptian army was “restoring democracy.” And the former US ambassador James Jeffrey drew on Turkey’s experience, and the 1980 coup in particular, to argue that the military could help in “moderating Islamist movements.”
有人认为军事干预可以成为有用的事态纠正器。美国国务卿科里说，埃及军队在“重塑民主”。前美国大使杰弗里（James Jeffery）援引土耳其的经验——特别是1980年政变——论证军队可以有助于“遏制伊斯兰运动”。
