No: 106, 20 April 2023, Press Release Regarding the Recent Political Developments in Tunisia

Republic Of Türkiye Ministry Of Foreign Affairs 20.04.2023

We are worried about the arrest of Rached Ghannouchi, leader of the Ennahda Party and former Speaker of the Assembly of People’s Representatives, in Tunisia.

We are of the opinion that such actions aiming at politicians representing different segments of the society will not contribute to the social peace of Tunisia.

We believe that the democratic transition process in Tunisia can be successful, if it could be conducted on the basis of a broad consensus that includes all segments of the society.

Türkiye will continue contributing to the peace, prosperity and well-being of friendly and brotherly Tunisia, as was the case until now.
