Algeria put three conditions for signing a long-term security and military agreement with Tunisia, Algerian newspaper El-Khabar reported yesterday.
The main condition is that Tunisia must not sign a military deal with a third country without discussing the issue with Algeria.
According to the sources, the second condition is that Tunisia must attain a consensus over any security and military agreement between the two countries.
While the third condition dictates that Tunisia not drag its army into any foreign war.
According to Al-Sharq Portal, military cooperation between the two countries widened in the last two years
Al-Sharq said that Algeria is afraid that Western countries might join security and military agreements with Tunisia.
During the last two years, both countries exchanged intelligence information and an elite security committee was set up to exchange information and military statements very quickly.
