Dr. Mohamed Saad Katatni, Chairman of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), hopes all political forces will accept the President's call for dialogue.

"Dialogue is the only way to get beyond the current crisis and to stop the chaos scenario, which this homeland is being dragged into.

"Astute leaders should sit together to discuss the reality of the situation and to agree on a roadmap to ensure an end to violence and complete the march of freedom and democracy. No-one wants more bloodshed in Egypt."

Dr. Katatni affirmed that the FJP does not have any pre-conditions for dialogue, and that it is ready to hear and discuss all ideas and initiatives.
