BAKU (Azerbaijan), July 16 – The interim government of Egypt will take the oath before Egypt’s interim Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi (photo) on Tuesday night, Azerbaijan’s Trend news agency said, citing Al Arabiya channel’s report on Tuesday.
It is expected that the country’s defence minister Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will be appointed as the first Deputy Prime Minister.
According to Al Arabiya, el-Bablawi has already taken a final decision on the appointment of ministers, with the exception of four ministerial posts, nominations for which are being specified.
The new government of Egypt will take oath against the background of the ongoing unrest in the country.
Clashes between the supporters and opponents of president Mohamed Morsi have been continuing, after the Egyptian military suspended the constitution of Egypt and ousted Morsi from power on July 3.
Egyptian Islamists do not recognise these decisions and demand the return of power to the legally elected president.
On July 10, Egypt’s prosecutor general’s office issued a decree to arrest the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood movement.
