( CNN ) -- Egypt is reconsidering its ties with countries that have n't been supportive of the government that the military installed after ousting the country 's first democratically elected president , the interim president said . Speaking in his first televised interview since Egypt 's powerful generals put him in office , Adly Mansour singled out Turkey and Qatar for criticism . Both those regional neighbors have condemned a crackdown last month by Egyptian authorities on supporters of the ousted president Mohamed Morsy that left hundreds of people dead . Life during chaos : Egyptians talk about coping . `` Our patience is running out regarding the Qatari stance , '' Mansour , 67 , said in the interview aired by state television Tuesday . `` The Turkish reaction has reflected short-sightedness and personal interest , not realizing the amount of cooperation between the two countries , '' Mansour said , according to an account of the interview published by state-run media outlet Al-Ahram . Tensions with Turkey . Unlike Qatar , which initially welcomed the military 's installation of Mansour and his administration , Turkey has been critical of the forced change of government in Cairo from the start . `` Neither ourselves nor the people of Turkey expected the stance of the Turkish government , which should n't have reacted based on the perspective of one faction , '' Mansour said . `` We hope for better relations with Turkey , but we do not accept interference in our internal affairs . '' Egypt demonstrator : Why we are willing to die . Mansour said that he and Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy are `` strategically reviewing our foreign relations to differentiate between our real friends and those who should not be classified in that category anymore . '' He said that the positions of the United States and the European Union remain unclear , but that he is starting to see indications that they will support the unelected transitional government . 'No force can turn back the clock ' Mansour also denied that the overthrow of Morsy in July had put Egypt on a path back toward the police state seen under former ruler Hosni Mubarak , who lost his grip on power amid widespread protests in early 2011 . A court released Mubarak , 85 , from prison last month , but authorities had him placed under house arrest at a military hospital while he awaits a retrial on charges of inciting violence against protesters during the demonstrations in 2011 . Opinion : What Mubarak 's release means . `` No force can turn back the clock , neither to the former regime or the one before it , Mansour said Tuesday . He said that what followed the 2011 uprising -- the election of Morsy and the Islamist party he was aligned with , the Muslim Brotherhood -- `` was an attempt at creating a clone of the former regime but with a religious tone . '' The military removed Morsy from office a year into his tenure amid large-scale street demonstrations against his government . Critics accused Morsy of authoritarianism and trying to force the Brotherhood 's Islamic agenda into the nation 's laws . But his supporters point out he was democratically elected and repeatedly offered Cabinet positions to secularists and liberals . Police 'applied restraint ' Mansour , a judge who heads the country 's Supreme Constitutional Court , defended the actions of security forces in the deadly crackdown on Morsy supporters at two large sit-ins in Cairo last month . `` I know the police faced a lot of criticism in dispersing the sit-ins , which were not peaceful , but they tried to pursue all peaceful stages and there was no response , '' he said . `` Still , they applied restraint and committed to the international standards and legal means of clearing the sit-ins . '' The violent clearance of the camps , the bloodiest day in Egypt 's recent history , was condemned by many countries . Egyptian authorities followed it by declaring a one-month state of emergency and arresting more Muslim Brotherhood officials . In his interview Tuesday , Mansour defended the decision to impose the state of emergency and a curfew . `` There was no other alternative to confront the organized danger the nation was facing , '' he said .
Adly Mansour expresses solidarity with Turkey and Syria . He speaks in his first interview since he was arrested by the government . He denies there will be a return to a police state . Mansour criticized the actions of police in the crackdown on supporters of Mohamed Ali .
