Erdogan Agreed to Deploy Troops to Qatar

The president of Turkey, Tayyip Erdogan, agreed to deploy the Turkey's forces in Qatar. This became a signal of support for Qatar in facing the isolation imposed by some Arabic countries on charge of terrorism.


The process of legislation was completed after being published by the Government's official media Friday (9/6), following an announcement from the President Office, a day before. The new policy was proposed on Wednesday and immediately agreed by the president.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt quited their diplomatic relations with Qatar at the beginning of this week, with an accusation of the coutry close bound to Islamic militant. Some other states follow that step while Doha denied the allegations.

Qatar vowed to end the isolation and declare it will not answer its foreign policy sovereignty in resolving the biggest diplomatic crisis that has been being faced for the last decades.

Fighters and warships will be delivered, following the deployment of Turkey troops at a base in Doha, as reported in the Hurriyet, as quoted in Reuters.

"Turkey will send some numbers of fighters and warships to the base will be ascertained after the first review being done," said Hurriyet.

A delegation from Ankara will be sent to Qatar in the next few days to review the situation at the base which has already been a home to over 90 members of the Turkey army.

Some Turkey officials dont give any comment related to the report. However, Hurriyet mentions that there is a plan to send around 200-250 army within two months.

Erdogan also agreed on an agreement that stated it will be a joint military exercise between Turkey and Qatar on Thursday. Both policies were drafted before the dispute in the Middle East. Turkey also promised to provide food and water to Qatar.

Erdogan said that the isolation will not solve any problem. Erdogan, who has long tried to run a role as a mediator between thos powerful countries, said Ankara will do all to help resolve the crisis.

Turkey maintains good relations with Qatar and neighbors countries in Arabia. Turkey and Qatar are both supportive to Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the rebels fighting to topple President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad.

The legislation does not mention specifically how many troops will be sent.

We're hardly waiting for it, Game of Thrones. We all know Jon Snow will be back in some shape or form this season, and at this point we're ready for the show to just come back already and stop teasing us. Enough with the cagey interviews, the oh-look-everyone-is-dead promos, and all the other taunting we've had to put up with for the past year. Just give us our beautiful show and let us be shocked in peace! Kit Harington, the portrayer of the dead guy in question, is the one who's confusing us this time.

I'm definitely not in the new series,...
