UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said on Saturday that the presence of the Turkish army in Qatar is an element of instability in the region.

Gargash claimed that the Turkish president’s statement during his visit to Qatar, in which he indicated that his army is working to stabilize the Gulf states as a whole, is inconsistent with the Turkish regional role, and the evidence is numerous.

He added: “The statement tries to divert attention from the economic reasons for the visit and, to be clear, the Turkish army in Qatar is an element of instability in our region.”

He stressed that “the Turkish military presence in the Arab Gulf is urgent and contributes to negative polarization in the region.”

He explained that the military presence is the decision of the ruling elites in the two countries that reinforces the policy of polarization and axes and does not take into account the sovereignty of the states and the interests of the Gulf and its peoples.

And he indicated that the region does not need territorial assimilations and reproduces colonial relations that go back to an earlier time.
