Brotherhood willing to negotiate on conditions: spokesperson

Muslim Brotherhood spokesperson Gehad al-Haddad has said that the Islamist group is willing to negotiate a way out of Egypt's crisis, on certain conditions.

“This means legitimacy must return first,” Haddad said.
 
After international mediation efforts failed, Al-Azhar - Egypt's highest authority in Sunni Islam - announced last week that it would work on holding talks to discuss the crisis.
 
But Haddad said the Brotherhood would oppose any initiative by Al-Azhar Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayyeb after he endorsed the army's overthrow of Mohamed Morsy.
