Qatari emir buys six Greek islands

[Ir.Tab.]

Qatari Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani has bought six privately owned Greek islands in the Ionian Sea for a total of 8.4 million euros.

One of the wealthiest men in the world, the emir bought the isles in order to build palaces to please his 24 children and three wives, according to reports.

The tycoon initially bought the 5 million-square-meter Oxia island for 4.9 million euros, paying 3.5 million for rest of the islands, which total 1.6 million square meters in size.

Al-Thani completed the purchase after 18 months of ongoing legal procedures, but both the buyer and seller were reportedly happy with the deal.

“Even when you buy an island, even if you are the emir of Qatar, it takes a year-and-a-half for all the paperwork to go through,” Ioannis Kassianos, the mayor of the nearby island of Ithaca, recently told The Guardian.

The emir fell for the islands during a yacht tour to the area four years ago, according to reports.

1-The Qataries get the highest salaries in the whole world,
2- They get fancy subsidiary from the gov, for instance in the last eyd, every Qatari got 4000$ ediah. The unemployed people get subsidiary more than what Iranian gov workers by 7 times until they find jobs.
3- Free taxes, free health insurance, free education.
4- They have one of the finest education and health systems as well as the finest infrastructure.
5- Gov financial help for building houses, getting married, and new born babies.
6- Their prisons have gymnasium, internet connection, Tvs, best food and rehabilitation program, they are 3 stars hotels.

You got a point!!! You guys always find some argument.

Qatari Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani has bought six privately owned Greek islands in the Ionian Sea for a total of 8.4 million euros.

you think this is charity from Qatar? nothing for free... maybe Jordan gave Qatar over 50k soldiers?..
anyways every country does investment, not because of charity...

And the million aided to terrorist in Libya, Pakistan and Syria!
Aid does not drive growth it rather rot the countries from inside much like what is happening in Pakistan. All of that money invested into factories could improve Arab productivity by few %%% rather than investing it in building more apartments and aid programs!

How long you bet to see Free Jordanian Army roaming Amman streets?
