Qatar, one of the wealthiest countries in the world and home to the largest U.S. air base in the Middle East, has seen a major recent development in its relations with Turkey – one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Meetings between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, took place at the beginning of December 2015, and on the 2nd of the month, it was announced that a Turkish military base would be set up in Qatar.
The establishment of the base is a part of an agreement that was signed between both countries in 2014, focusing on cooperation in military training and aims of confronting common enemies. The establishment also comes at a time of rising instability, terrorism, threats and a perceived decrease of U.S. interest in the Middle East region.
Turkey will also install aid, naval units, military trainers and special operational forces in Qatar – with the base also serving as a venue for joint training exercises between both countries. It is not clear when the new Turkish base will be completed, but 100 troops are already in Qatar training the Gulf State’s military.
Shortage what Shortage?
Oh Look what just came from Iran
Minor Adustment on the flying route
Shrewed move by Erdogan
