Azerbaijan , Baku, Oct. 10 / Trend E.Kosolapova /
President of the International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) Yusuf Al-Qaradawi urges Egyptians to postpone their demands for the transfer of power in the country until the presidential election, the official website of Egyptian organization Muslim Brothers reported.
According to Qaradawi, actual transition period is needed to establish stability in the country.
Last week, the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) military announced its decision to hold presidential elections in Egypt following a constitutional referendum.
According to the documents published online by the SCAF, a maximum of six months will then be given for the formation of a provisional assembly tasked with drafting a new constitution.
An additional six months will then be given for assembly members to draft the constitution.
The decision, reached at a meeting between SCAF and representatives of 13 political parties, contradicts a SCAF-issued constitutional declaration adopted in March, which stated that presidential polls would be held until next year following parliamentary elections, in advance of the drafting of a new national charter.
