I do not think this has any reflection on the will of the Tunisian people, nor will it has any bearing on the internal affairs. This act will never lead to any kind of activities concerning Tunisia from the soil of the Kingdom.

These steps are very important for to the Arab countries," Prince Saud commented. --More
