Tunisia President Says Confident Can Overcome Political Crisis

Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki said he was confident the country could overcome a protracted political crisis that deepened Tuesday with the breakdown of talks on a new prime minister.

"Tunisia will get through this difficult phase," Marzouki said during a visit to Paris in his first reaction to the failure of the talks between ruling Islamists and the opposition. "We are determined to promote a democratic process, whatever the present difficulties may be."
