Answer 1
because the coup is really a coup when the army takes over the country , but that didn't happen , and now Egypt has an interim President and a liberal government , and the Egyptians are waiting for the election to choose their parliament and their president people call it a coup just because the army helped the people to remove a dump president who was not even qualified to be a president of a major country in the Middle East like Egypt the people had no water , no power , no fuels , NOTHING so they went to streets in demonstrations was considered to be the biggest all over history ( over 33 millions ) if the army didn't help them , there would be a civil war in Egypt and fortunately he helped them
Answer 2
It's a coup ! in all political science books , what happened in Egypt is a coup , it might be accepted by some of the people but it still a coup , the military took over power from elected president , and later the head of military became president of the country, supporter for the coup may argue that this is not a coup , but that doesn't change the facts.
What makes 25 January 2011 revolution not a coup is that people who revolt against none-democratic president and there were no other ways to change him but revolution and also the Army didn't take him out of office he just stepped down .
but in that coup July 2013, there were so many ways to change president like ( elections ) as a main way for that and it was available and fair.
