Egypt Presidency Hails 'High Turnout' in Key Referendum
Egypt's presidency hailed on Thursday the "high turnout" in a constitutional referendum, billed by the military-installed government as an endorsement of the overthrow of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi in July.
The president's spokesman "remarked, on the high turnout in the referendum, that it was a beautiful day for Egypt and democracy," a statement said.
Official results for two days of voting that ended Wednesday have not yet been announced.
