Baku-APA. The Egyptian constitution is expected to be amended within four months, after which parliamentary polls and then presidential election will be held, a presidential political adviser said Wednesday, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
"The new parliament will be elected within two months after the constitution is amended. One week after the new parliament convenes, the presidential election will be called," Mostafa Hegazi, the political adviser to interim President Adli Mansour, told reporters in a press conference.
Hegazi noted that there will be a new state institution to facilitate the transitional justice and reconciliation process.
"For this reason, we have a new minister for transitional justice and reconciliation and we will have a transitional justice commission," said Hegazi, adding that the reconciliation process will be based on justice and law.
Hegazi stressed that the arrests of some Muslim Brotherhood leading members were in accordance with legal procedures on charges of inciting violence and others.
He also denied claims that Mohamed ElBradei, Vice President for Foreign Relations, started his job with a visit to Israel.
In addition, he said U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, during his recent visit to Egypt, did not ask the Egyptian authorities to release ousted Islamist President Mohamed Morsi.
Hegazi stressed that there will be no exclusion, isolation or alienation of any political party, pointing out that the state will not take any exceptional procedures against the Brotherhood's continuous protests.
