Bishop Yuhanna Qultah, Deputy Patriarch of Coptic Catholics in Egypt, welcomed the arrival of Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) members to the first post-revolution parliament, pointing out that they are the men of clear vision, moderate mainstream views, who seek a balanced consensus parliament, and whose main concern is uphold the national interests and dignity of the country.

In an interview, in the programme “Ahl Albalad” on the satellite channel “Misr 25”, on Dec. 29 last, Dr. Qultah expressed his sincere appreciation to Dr. Mohamed Morsi, FJP Chairman, for his re-iteration in repeated responses to repeated questions and suggestions  that he should send ‘reassurance’ messages to the Copts after the victory of FJP candidates in parliamentary elections, as he (Morsi) always says: “How do I send messages to reassure them when they are partners in this one homeland?!” Bishop YuhannaQultah pointed out that the MB’s comprehensive, all-inclusive, understanding is just what is required to achieve balance and advancement for the whole nation which needs cooperation and synergy for a total renaissance.
