Turkey was the first country in the world to respond to the coup in Tunisia and take a stand against the Tunisian president.
The Tunisian coup worried not only government officials, but also the leaders of several parties opposed to the Turkish government.
Tunisia is located between Algeria and Libya and is of great importance for the implementation of Turkish policies on the African continent as well as on the Mediterranean coast.
The volume of trade exchange between Turkey and Tunisia reached 5 billion dollars during the peak of the past two years, which represents a large part of common interests.
