Accusation against Egypt on oppressing the Copts refuted

Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa stated that accusations that his country oppresses the Copts are made by certain pressure groups serving Israel, which are trying to take revenge on Egypt for its stand toward Arab causes, and not by the US administration, al-Hayat reported.

Egyptian Awqaf Minister Hamdi Zakzut described the alleged oppression as a rumor propagated by the Zionist lobby to pressure Egypt.
