Rashid Ghannouchi yesterday strongly denied the comments attributed to him by the Washington Institute for Near Eastern Policy and which were later published in the press. The Washington Institute for Near Eastern Policy, following an hour long meeting with the Tunisian political leader, claimed that he had said that he believes revolutions will break out in Arab Kingdoms, and that he also said that the Tunisian constitution would include a clause prohibiting normalization of relations with Israel.

Speaking exclusively to Asharq Al-Awsat during a telephone interview, the Tunisia political leader stressed “I completely deny these comments.” He added “these comments are fabricated and aim to harm our relations with the US, and Western and Arab states, particularly the Gulf States.

As for Tunisia’s post-revolutionary relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Ghannouchi told Asharq Al-Awsat that “we want only good things for the Kingdom [of Saudi Arabia], and our policy is one of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other states.”
