UAE’s Gargash: Middle East instability caused by foreign interference
Because instability is absolutely not something Middle Easterners would accomplish on their own.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Ottoman Turkish and Iranian regional interference, as well as economic issues, are major causes of current Middle East instability, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said on Saturday.

"The past two decades have seen unusual interference in regional affairs - Ottoman Turkish, Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
interference - which adds to the overall instability of the region," said Gargash at the annual IISS Manama Dialogue summit in Bahrain.

He said that the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have been confronting Iran’s "expansionist" policy for the past 30 years, and that it has provided an opportunity for cooperation between regional states.

Gargash said that the UAE’s confrontation of terrorism and extremism is a priority, and that given its limited resources stemming from its small size, it is important the UAE moves collectively.

Gargash also said the ongoing demonstrations in Iraq and Leb are primarily related to economic policies.

"The daily demonstrations in Iraq and Leb...it is for mostly about the efficacy about the economic system. It is secondly about corruption," said Gargash, adding he would like to see the region discuss the development of economic policies more.

While Iran and economic policies may be causing destabilization, Gargash did point to a "major success" of conflict resolution in the region: the Riyadh agreement.

"Saudi diplomacy successfully engineered [this agreement]...an essential building block to the stability in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
," said Gargash.
