Experienced reporter of ntvmsnbc.com Mete Cubukcu writes from Tahrir: "Egyptians are in squares because they think they were cheated.'

Mete Cubukcu said Egyptian people thought their revolution has been stolen by army and by some politicians, heritage from Mubarak team.

"Tahrir rebellious is in second step. This is not a repeating of rebellious at January. Egyptian people are in squares for fighting against the army Military Council. Because, council tries for to forget demands and aims which fighting for at January. Council steals millions of people revolution and people remind their demands at Tahrir again."

 "They named as revolution the striving at Tahrir. Because "rebellious' is like an act that hasn't got target, according to them. Their target is same with January; reminding the justice, freedom and bread demands."

"Despite Husnu Mubarak was demolished at January anything has changed at main structure of old regime which has penetrated everywhere for 30 years. Anyone isn't judged out of Mubarak family from old regime. Someone from old regime is still at same positions. Army strives for killing Tahrir soul under colour of saving stability. Army postpones the passing to democracy for to forget new soul. Tahrir soul starts to move again because of these" Cubukcu said.

Cubukcu said rebels have thought army was together with them and they have cooperated with army at January. Army promised for passing the democracy and they removed Mubarak.

 "That army captures the competence was supported by Washington for blocking chaos in country. Egyptian Army Commander Tantavi idled away Mubarak for stability. But Tantavi is like Hosni Mubarak now" Cubukcu said.

 "Army couldn't receive Tahrir soul at January and commanders thought people will turn back to home after demolishing of Mubarak. But Egyptian people are so differently that they saw they can get rights with fighting in squares, today. They are fighting against army now what they cooperated at January and Commander Tantavi gets position of old leader Mubarak" Cubukcu said.

"Some politicians from Mubarak term are seen in new policy parties. Any old politician wasn't judged. Army doesn't give up from some privileges at constitution. People at Tahrir square feels themselves were cheated, today. They know poorness will not over climbed at short time but they are angry with some promises about democracy and justice are postponed, passing to civil government is postponed; Egyptian people are in Tahrir because of those. Freedom is not better than old on the contrary people look for freedom at Mubarak term. Thousand of people are arrested. Injured and death people number at rebellious much more than January rebellious" Cubukcu said.

Cubukcu said army has promised for parliament and president elections will be done as soon as possible but people don't believe Commander Tantavi. "If protests go on army may idle away Tantavi. That army captures competence literally is not possible, because of international conjuncture. Some liberals and Muslim Brothers think if army draws away, country falls in a chaos. Muslim Brothers don't support people at Tahrir Square, they focused to elections now. Army and Muslim Brothers may cooperate for "stability' despite they are old enemies each others."

"Tahrir is a symbol not just in Egypt but all around the world. I think Egyptian people who demand democracy and justice will change Egypt." Cubukcu said.
