Egypt's ElBaradei says talks only after Mubarak leaves the country

(Reuters) - Egyptian opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei said on Tuesday President Hosni Mubarak must leave the country before any dialogue can start between the opposition and the government.

"There can be dialogue but it has to come after the demands of the people are met and the first of those is that President Mubarak leaves," he told Al Arabiya television, saying the dialogue would involve transitional power arrangements and dissolving parliament.
