President Obama on Tuesday called Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, urging him to be “responsive” to anti-government protesters, amid growing political unrest and threats from Egypt’s military to assume power.

“The President told President Morsy that the United States is committed to the democratic process in Egypt and does not support any single party or group,” said the White House in a statement about the call.

“He stressed that democracy is about more than elections; it is also about ensuring that the voices of all Egyptians are heard and represented by their government, including the many Egyptians demonstrating throughout the country.”

The White House said Obama urged Morsi “to take steps to show that he is responsive to their concerns, and underscored that the current crisis can only be resolved through a political process.”

“President Obama reiterated that only Egyptians can make the decisions that will determine their future,” the statement said.

The White House said Monday that Obama was “concerned” about violence in Egypt and was watching the situation closely. But the White House added that Morsi’s election as president was “legitimate” and said that both sides needed to peacefully negotiate a resolution.
