Qatar Says Dispute with Gulf Neighbors 'over' | |
2014-04-24 | |
[An Nahar] Qatar's dispute with three fellow Gulf states, which withdrew their envoys from Doha last month, is "over", the Qatari foreign minister said Wednesday, while insisting his country had made no concessions.
GCC foreign ministers met last week and announced an end to months of unprecedented tensions between Qatar and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. The three countries recalled their ambassadors from Doha after accusing Qatar of meddling in their internal affairs and supporting the banned Moslem Brüderbund. Attiyah's statement was the first Qatari comment on the special ministerial meeting held in Saudi Arabia. "Brothers in the GCC states arrived at understandings which are not considered to be concessions by any party," the Qatari minister said. Attiyah said it is now "left for the brothers in the GCC states to send their ambassadors back" to Doha. | |

#1 Most likely the Saudis got the assurances that they wanted and wisely let the Qataris save face in public by not having to admit any changes in policy. More bad news for the Brothers. |
