MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Tunisian President Kais Saied announced on Wednesday the decision to dissolve the country's parliament, Tunisian media reported.
The president announced the decision at the meeting of the National Security Council, citing the need to protect state institutions and people, according to the Tunisian news agency TAP.
In late July, the Tunisian leader suspended the parliament and dismissed Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi after anti-government protests. In October, the president announced the formation of a new government without lifting the parliament's suspension.
