Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi's decree that ordered the dissolved parliament to resume work did not contradict or violate the earlier decision by the Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC), said spokesman of the presidency Yasser Ali on Monday.

The presidential decree was issued to implement the SCC decision, Ali was quoted by official news agency MENA as saying in a statement, adding that there is no conflict between the presidency and the judiciary and the president respects the SCC decisions.

He asserted that the presidential decision to reinstate the dissolved parliament until a new election was based on powers granted by the constitution.

Becoming president means that Morsi has the power over the state's institutions, Ali said, adding that Morsi now has the right to alter, modify or revoke decisions taken by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which acted as the country's interim ruler before the new president was elected.

Morsi on Sunday ordered the dissolved People's Assembly (lower house of the parliament) to resume work in a presidential decree.

According to the decree, a new parliamentary election will be held within 60 days after the country's new constitution is approved by a public referendum and the new law on the People's Assembly is fixed.

In a statement released Monday evening, the armed forces, which handed power to the new president on July 30, called all the country's institutions to respect items of the supplementary constitutional declaration the military issued days after the dissolution of the People's Assembly.

The SCC ruled on June 14 that the People's Assembly was null and void as some articles of the parliament election law were unconstitutional. The then-ruling supreme military council ordered its dissolution in line with the verdict and resumed legislative powers.

However, the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists have rejected the dissolution of parliament.
