Английская Википедия:Ahmed Ounaies
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox Politician Ahmed Ounaies, also spelled Ahmed Ounaiss, (born 25 January 1936) is a Tunisian politician and diplomat who was Foreign Minister for two weeks in the transitional government established after the 2010–2011 Tunisian uprising. Public pressure forced him to resign a week after controversially praising French Minister Michèle Alliot-Marie, who openly supported Ben Ali and helped deliver tear gas to police forces.
His predecessor who was Ben Ali's foreign minister — Kamel Morjane — had also resigned from his post.[1] His successor — Mouldi Kefi — was appointed on 21 February 2011.[2]
Minister of Foreign Affairs
On January 29, after a week of protests in Egypt he said Tunisia and Egypt are different and both must "chart their own course".[3] He also emphasized that Tunisia was not going to involve itself in Egypt.[3]
Controversy and resignation
During his trip to Paris,[4] he angered many Tunisians by stating he had always dreamed of meeting French Foreign Minister Alliot-Marie.[2] He went on to praise her by stating she was "above all a friend of Tunisia".[4][5] In Tunis, about 300 employees of the foreign ministry staged a protest rally outside their workplace to demand that he step down after his comments.[6] Hundreds more joined the protest.[1]
After only two weeks as foreign minister, he resigned on 13 February 2011.[1][7]
