Turkey’s Erdogan slams ‘inhumane’ isolation of Qatar
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan slams the economic and political isolation of Qatar as inhumane and contrary to Islamic values after key Gulf states broke off ties with Ankara’s ally.
“Taking action to isolate a country in all areas is inhumane and un-Islamic,” Erdogan says in televised comments to his party in Ankara, after Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain broke off relations with Qatar on June 5, accusing it of supporting “terrorism.”
Erdogan adds he will hold three-way phone talks on the crisis later today with French President Emmanuel Macron and Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani.
