Tunisia restores diplomatic relations with Syria

TUNIS, July 25 (KUNA) -- Tunis has restored diplomatic ties with Syria and appointed Ibrahim Al-Fawari as its consul general in Damascus.
The Tunisian news agency quoted sources in the foreign ministry as saying that ties have been restored and that a Tunisian diplomatic team has been working in Damascus since months ago.
Ties between the two countries were suspended in February 2012 by then president Moncef Marzouki as a result of the increasing number of those killed by the Syrian regime troops. (end) nm.tg
