Saudi-led anti-Qatar alliance 'to slap economic sanctions' on Turkey for backing Doha in Gulf crisis

A Saudi-led alliance against Qatar is planning to slap economic sanctions on Turkey for its support for Doha during the ongoing diplomatic crisis, diplomatic sources have told The New Arab.
Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Egypt have reportedly been discussing taking measures against Ankara, which has sent military and food aid to the besieged Gulf emirate.

"Soon we will see harsh economic sanctions against Turkey from the Gulf states, in particular Saudi Arabia which will strike the heaviest blow to Ankara," an Egyptian source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said.

"The Saudi position has appeared to accept Ankara's role as a mediator but Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has insisted on taking punitive measures," the source said, adding that Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Mohammed bin Zayed, discussed the sanctions during his visit to Cairo this week.

He said that Saudi-led alliance had believed that Qatar would cave in quickly to the blockade and has been surprised that Doha has taken a stand against the economic and diplomatic pressures.

The source added that the anti-Qatar alliance had thought that Turkey was not going to strongly back Qatar in the crisis out of fears of angering Riyadh, which has also been an ally of the Turkish government.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, as well as other Arab countries, broke off relations with Qatar on June 5, accusing it of supporting "terrorism" and leaving Doha economically and politically isolated.

But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan immediately vowed to support Qatar and vehemently rejected the accusations – already strongly denied by Doha – that Qatar supports terrorism.

Turkey on Thursday sent a first ship loaded with aid for its embattled regional ally Qatar, which has been hit by sanctions from Gulf powers led by Saudi Arabia, state media said.

Almost two dozen Turkish troops also arrived in Qatar as Ankara ramps up military support for Doha, even as it tries not to irritate Riyadh.

Turkey has already sent over 100 planes with food and other aid for Qatar, but this is the first time a cargo ship has embarked on the voyage to Doha.

On Friday, Kuwait gave Qatar a list of demands from the Saudi-led alliance that includes immediately closing Turkey's military base in Qatar.

Last week, sources told The New Arab that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has urged Gulf leaders to expand their boycott until Ankara gives up support for Qatar.

They said Sisi believes this would maintain the pressure on Doha to respond positively and help bring a speedy end to the regional siege.

not unexpected, you poke them, they will poke you back.. The question is how much Turkey export to KSA, UAE, Egypt and Bahrain? Possible sanctions will effect Turkish economy or not?

 

[OguzSenturk]

IF Qatar subsidy, nothing would happen. Qatar has huge amount of cash in their banks. Well we are protecting them from death, they better subsidy our loss in order to defend them

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Well there goes prospects of Saudi Arabia building up their dfence industry.

 

[Mucahit]

lt's even less than %7 now so they can try to embargo(!) Turkey

 

[Hyperion]

Three stooges, namely, Saudi brat, Egyptian despot, and Mr. Nobody of N.A.E (Nowhere Arab Emirates) punching way above their fat arses combined weight. This is going to be fun to watch!

 

[KingWest]

Who do they even think they are? Unfortunately for them, the table in the Middle-East has been set a long time ago. If their agenda is so much against Iranian influences, than I don't think they should be making new enemies. This move would push Turkey to cooperate even more with Qatar, Russia and Iran.

lt's even less than %7 now so they can try to embargo(!) Turkey

Actually, 7% is a lot for a country like Turkey. Our economic growth wholly depends on FDI. If the FDI falls, we must seek new sources for FDI, or a new economic crisis may arise. In the end, this would move Turkiye to seek further collaboration with Iran and Qatar.

Arkadeslar this is very much true but they might drag Turkey into a useless, long enduring war. This is my only fear. That is what they have been trying to do with Pakistan.

 

[GauMataSlaughterHouse]

yahood and saud on the same side.

why is that surprising ?!

 

[Hyperion]

Nah. Not possible. Neither with Pakistan, nor with Turkey. Pakistan and Turkey both are not what they were in the 80's or 90's. In short we are no longer 'risk-averse'.

Any hanky panky (read: proxy / attrition) in Pakistan or Turkey may result in nasty shit in Dubai / Jeddah / Cairo. Think on the lines of:

1. Blasts
2. Assassinations
3. Direct conflict.

Now bet your *** on point three above and and tell me that in all-out hostilities which-Arab-nation-in-their-right-minds is going to engage either Pakistan or Turkey in hand to hand combat?

What we need to do is JUST raise a slogan that we are going to liberate "Kaaba" from American dogs via Jehad and see 200,000,000+ people fall in line behind it....... "Kaaba ko Yahoodion say bachao"....

On topic now....... this was bound to happen anyways........... with oil prices where they are......... their national deficit....... Iranian sanctions being lifted............ Gawadar coming on line........ this whole drama was on cards today or tomorrow....... AS our common interests are no longer convergent.

Arkadeslar this is very much true but they might Turkey into a scalene, long enduring war. This is my only fear. That is what they have been trying to do with Pakistan.
