Egypt interim president sworn in, election date unspecified

PanARMENIAN.Net - The head of Egypt's Constitutional Court, Adli Mansour, was sworn in as interim president on Thursday, a day after the army ousted Mohammed Morsi as head of state, Reuters reported.

Speaking at the Constitutional Court in Cairo, Mansour said he plans to hold new elections, but did not specify when.

He said Egypt had "corrected the path of its glorious revolution" through mass street protests calling for Morsi's resignation, which ultimately sealed his fate.
