Egypt keeping close tabs on Turkey
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a good friend of the Egyptian government – when he visited post-revolution Cairo in late 2011, he received a hero’s welcome.
Now, Egypt is closely watching the protests in Turkey.
“We're watching it, but without alarm,” Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday. “Turkey, I think, has a solid democracy. And this is an internal affair. I know surely they can handle it within the boundaries and the rules and the role of democracy.”
Even though Turkey has a longer tradition of democracy than Egypt, the anger in cities like Istanbul and Anakra does mirror some of the secular and religious divide in Egypt that has played out over the past months.
“This is a very legitimate request,” Kandil said. "But the legitimate process to achieve one party's view, one's group's view, is to wait for election time and make sure that you get the proper vote so you can properly represent in the government.”
Kandil believes there will be a call for election in Egypt in the next three or four months.
“But it doesn't work that one group gets the microphone and says 'we want to be there;' another group gets another microphone and they want to be in the driving seat.”

By Samuel Burke & Claire Calzonetti CNN
‘Egypt’s Jon Stewart’ faced his toughest crowd yet on Sunday.
Bassem Youssef, host of the satirical Arabic-language news show 'The Program,' was interrogated for five hours at an Egyptian prosecutor's office, as part of an investigation over complaints that his comedy material insulted Islam and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy.
During the interrogation, Youssef says, he was forced to watch evidence against him – his own television programs.
"Basically we were going through the punch lines," he told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview on Monday. "Answer questions, line by line, phrase by phrase and joke by joke." FULL POST

Egyptian PM: 'Everyone new at this democracy thing'
By Samuel Burke, CNN
Massive and violent protests often make today’s Egypt looks little different than it did during the demonstrations that brought down Hosni Mubarak’s regime.
“We are paying the price of Mubarak’s era,” Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Monday. “Our democracy is going through a test: How the majority can accommodate the needs and concerns of the minority, and how the minority can listen to the majority and respect the majority’s opinion.”
The head of the Egyptian armed forces, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, sparked fears last week when he said the current political crisis could lead to the collapse of the state.
In spite of al-Sisi’s comments and the mayhem in many Egyptian cities, Kandil rejected the notion that the government is unstable or that the army would assert itself back into daily affairs.
“The Egyptian army has played a pivotal war in protecting the Egyptian revolution,” Kandil insisted, pointing to the fact the military respected the handover of power from the Mubarak regime to democratically-elected Mohamed Morsy.
Egyptian youth make up a significant portion of the protestors now on the streets. Kandil admitted that it is a major problem that Egypt’s young people have not found their place in society, and do not feel represented in the current state of affairs. He said the government must work on building bridges to the unaffiliated youth through “constructive acts,” but did not offer specifics.
Kandil said what the government needs most now is time – to create new institutions and strengthen the trust between the people and state.
“Everyone is new in this democracy thing,” he said.
