U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry expressed deep concern on Saturday over the bloodshed and violence in Egypt that has killed and injured scores, saying the country faced a pivotal moment, Al Arabiya reported.
Kerry, in a statement following calls with Egyptian and European officials, also urged an independent and impartial inquiry into the events of the past 24 hours and urged all of the Egypts leaders to act to help their country take a step back from the brink.
At least 65 people were killed during clashes in Cairo early Saturday, Egypts Health Ministry said, after violence erupted at a demonstration in support of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.
The ministry said nine others died in violence in Egypts second city Alexandria, putting the toll in two days of unrest at 74. The Muslim Brotherhood, however, claimed that the death toll was much higher and that about 120 people were killed in what the movement described as a massacre in an attempt to complete the coup.
This is a pivotal moment for Egypt, Kerry said, according to Al Arabiya.
Over two years ago, a revolution began. Its final verdict is not yet decided, but it will be forever impacted by what happens right now, he said.
Kerry also said that, at a time of extreme volatility, Egyptian authorities have a moral and legal obligation to respect the right of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression.
Violence not only further sets back the process of reconciliation and democratization in Egypt, but it will negatively impact regional stability, he said.

I get that Kerry’s the SoS. But it would be refreshing to see someone in this administration be deeply concerned about the violence in Chicago.
That would explain the long face, then. *snicker*
Now that Obama has lost his closest ally Mohammad Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood client state, look for him to pump even more money, and at a faster rate, to the Syrian rebels in an effort to establish the Muslim Brotherhood nation in Syria.
The Obama foreign policy is let’s support the Muslim Brotherhood. The Obama foreign policy is not naive. It is evil.
