Erdogan Goes Out Of His Way To Help Qatar

-

Erdogan has a way with influence, and he has shown it once again as he has pushed for military support to be sent to Qatar on the latter’s behest



Someone really coming close to Qatar is Turkey. Despite the former rich Middle Eastern country been in focus for human rights violations, Turkey has been going out of its way to build trade relations with Qatar.

As the Middle Eastern nation gears up towards the forthcoming FIFA World Cup, 2022, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has asked Parliament to authorize the dispatch of troops to Qatar to increase security during this winter’s World Cup in the Arab country.

Qatar has now sealed borders and allowing only those visitors that have valid approvals to come into the country to view the World Cup. Turkey has offered help as Qatar has reportedly asked for security support. In response, Erdogan has been quick to send a letter to the Parliament, controlled by like-minded parties, to authorize this deployment.

Erdogan who has been known to have held authoritarian control over Turkey has justified his action as a ‘exceptional support’ that Turkey must offer on the pretext of the ‘historical and cultural ties’ with Qatar, as well as the interest in improving stability in the Persian Gulf region.

Turkey already has a military base in Qatar, as well as a bilateral protocol published this summer in the Turkish Official Gazette for the deployment of riot control, bomb disposal teams and police dogs during the World Cup, which takes place between November 21 and December 18.

The Turkish Interior Ministry has estimated that more than 3,000 Turkish riot police will be sent to Qatar.
