Amr Moussa, leading member of the National Salvation Front, urged President Mohamed Mursi to accept the demands of the "Tamarod" (Rebel) campaign and not regard the campaign as a conspiracy.

In a statement issued earlier on Wednesday, Moussa said that the salvation front did not reject previous invitations from the presidency for dialogue, adding that the front just expressed the need to have guarantees ensuring the dialogue's seriousness.

An invitation for a meeting grouping the president and the opposition is normal, especially in light of this sensitive timing for Egypt, Moussa said.

Egypt is currently appraising one whole year of the Muslim Brotherhood's rule which is a vital issue to all citizens, he stated.

"Rebel" campaign aims to garner support for a no-confidence vote against Mursi, who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood, and calling for early presidential elections.
