Ambassador Algeria in France is recalled for consultation, with reference to the Presidential Administration of the country, the news agency Algerie Presse Service. Why Algerian authorities went to such a step, not specified.
TASS notes that the diplomatic demarche of the North African Republic occurs against the background of a crisis caused by the decision of Paris twice the number of visas issued by Algair. About such a decision, which affects Morocco, on September 29, announced the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of France Gerald Darmannene. The directive also concerns Tunisia, but the issuance of visas to its citizens decreases by 30%. As the leader of the department explained, such measures are introduced to encourage these countries to take back their citizens, among which there are radical Islamists.
Previously, the Algerian Foreign Ministry had already called the French ambassador, saying the official protest in him.
