"The Indonesian government has so far expected to the process of democratic transition in Egypt could run well, in order, and in peace," Marty said in a written statement here on Thursday.
Marty also expressed hope that the political situation in Egypt would soon return to normal and the process of democratic transition would run as expected by the Egyptian community.
Meanwhile, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono also called on Indonesian nationals in Egypt to stay away from dangerous places and to avoid immersing themselves in Egyptian domestic affairs.
The head of state made the call on his Twitter account @SBYudhoyono here on Thursday after Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi was ousted on Wednesday.
"At 2.15 am on Thursday, our ambassador Nurfaizi reported a dramatic event in Egypt about the ousting of President Morsi. Then instructed him to ensure the security of our embassy in Egypt and all our people there if the political situation continues to worsen," President Yudhoyono said.
He said the incident shocked the world and Indonesia hoped the democratic transition in Egypt could run well and peacefully.
According to the president, US President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Bali in 2011 asked his point of view about the democratic prospect in Egypt.
"To Obama and Hillary at the time I said military role was the decisive factor in the transition of democracy and it also happened in Egypt," President Yudhoyono said.
Meanwhile, AFP reported in Cairo on Thursday that Egypt`s army ousted and detained President Mohamed Morsi on Wednesday after a week of deadly clashes and mass protests calling for him to go after a year in office.
His defence minister, armed forces chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, announced Morsi`s overthrow on state television, even as police began rounding up key Morsi aides and leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood.(*)
