“OR Monastery of St. Catherine It is one of the oldest and most respected religious and archaeological monuments in the world, ” reported by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Egypt; Badr Abdelati, In an article that has been published in Kathimerini newspaper Today Thursday (26/6).
As deeply rooted in his country’s intellectual and cultural heritage, the Minister describes the monastery as a timeless symbol of interfaithing and respect for sacred traditions. “Egypt has long maintained its steady commitment to the freedom of religion and faith, as well as to the protection of religious places. This commitment is deeply rooted in the country’s national identity and is expressed in practice through its policies, especially in the last decade. “
Even referring to the recent judgment her May 28thhe emphasizes that the reaction to it is in severe disharmony with reality on the field. “It not only misinterpreted the legal parameters of the decision, but also ignores the stable time of the Egyptian state in favor of protecting freedom of faith, as a fundamental principle of constitution and state policy. It is neither accurate nor reasonable to argue that any measure has taken the state contradicts this fundamental commitment. “
“Recent allegations that Egypt seeks to take control of the monastery, remove the fraternity or if it changes its religious identity are completely unfounded and lack any substantive basis. The decision guarantees the existing regime of the monastery and guarantees its maintenance on its religious sites. Egypt respects and fully recognizes the monastery and its related monumental sites as religious and archaeological symbols. ”
At the same time, he notes, Egypt took immediate action to clarify the decision. “On May 30 and June 23, taking into account Greece -Egypt’s strategic relations, President Abdel Fatah al -Sisi contacted the Greek Prime Minister to confirm Egypt’s total respect for the monastery and its religious importance and its religious importance and its religious importance and re -establish itself. At the passage of history. “
