PARIS, Jan 14 (Reuters) - France's Foreign Ministry said on
Friday its citizens should avoid traveling to Tunisia unless it
is urgent after the Tunisian government declared a state of
emergency.
"Given the unstable situation ... it is strongly recommended
to postpone all travel that is not urgent," the ministry said in
a statement on its website.
About 1.5 million French people visit Tunisia each year and
the country has about 21,000 nationals in the North African
country.
