Iran, Turkey sign deal with Qatar to ease Gulf blockade
TEHRAN: Iran and Turkey signed a deal Sunday with Qatar aimed at boosting commercial ties with the Gulf state which is under blockade by its Arab neighbours, Iranian state television said.
The broadcaster?s website said the agreement provides for the creation of a ?joint working group to facilitate the transit of goods between the three countries?.It also said the three nations aimed to tackle ?obstacles to sending goods from Iran and Turkey to Qatar?. Qatar?s relationship with Shiite-dominated Iran, seen as the major rival to Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, is one of the major factors underpinning the crisis between Qatar and its former allies. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt all cut ties with Qatar in June, accusing Doha of backing extremism and fostering ties with Iran, charges that Qatar denies. Since the crisis erupted, Iran and Turkey ? whose relations have warmed considerably in recent months ? have sought to help break Qatar?s isolation, including by increasing food exports to the emirate. Meanwhile, Iraq is to build a new pipeline to allow oil exports to resume from the northern province of Kirkuk to neighbouring Turkey, the oil ministry said Sunday. Oil Minister Jabbar al-Luaybi has ordered documents to be prepared towards building the new pipeline to ?transport crude oil from Kirkuk?s oilfields to the port of Ceyhan? in Turkey, a ministry spokesman said in a statement. An older pipeline was ?too damaged by attacks by Daesh terrorist gangs to be rehabilitated,? Assem Jihad said, using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.Iraq had exported 250,000 to 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) through that pipeline before IS jihadists swept across large parts of the country in 2014. The new pipeline is to stretch for around 250 kilometres (150 miles) from the area of Baiji, in the province of Salaheddine to the south of Kirkuk, to the Fishkhabur border post with Turkey further north. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Iran, Turkey sign deal with Qatar to ease Gulf blockade || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
