Erdogan and Tamim violate international laws during official visit to Doha

In the wake of the unprecedented acceleration in the number
of new corona virus infections as a result of the failed policies of Qatari
Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and
despite international warnings against travel due to the pandemic, Erdogan
decided to break the health precautions and visit Doha to meet Tamim. The visit
coincides with the continued crimes committed by Turkish forces and Erdogan's
mercenaries in Libya, Syria and Iraq.
According to informed sources, Erdogan is searching for
funds to finance his military operations in Syria, Iraq and Libya, in addition
to his country’s economy, which collapsed from the pandemic.
Amjad Taha, regional head of the British Middle East Center
for Studies and Research (BMCSR), revealed that Erdogan would also meet Yemeni
Houthi and Brotherhood leaders in Qatar.
Taha wrote on his Twitter account on Wednesday, July 1 Doha
would be completely closed and tight security measures put in place by Turkish
military for Erdogan’s arrival in Qatar, where he would meet Qatari regime officials
and immediately take $5 billion and sign agreements to support the militias in
Libya and Syria and to form an operations and media room to manage the affairs
of the terrorists in Tripoli.
He added that Tamim will sign economic, security, military
and media agreements with Erdogan, funding for the Turkish regime with $5
billion to support terrorist militias in Libya and Syria, as well as expand the
work of the Turkish military base in Doha. Erdogan will also meet a number of
Houthi and Brotherhood leaders from Yemen.
According to media reports, the Turkish president is facing
several domestic crises related to a huge shortage in the budget, which he
illegally consumed for his foreign wars, as well as the economic repercussions
of the corona pandemic. Those problems manifested strongly with the
opposition's insistence on knowing the fate of billions of pounds collected to
counter the pandemic.
However, Qatar is no better condition than Turkey. According
to a previous report by Qatarileaks, Doha has sustained losses for the past
three years since the Arab Quartet began its boycott due to Qatar’s funding and
support for terrorism, and Turkey and Iran then took advantage of the situation
to drain the country’s resources. At the same time, Qatar has failed to garner
political support on the international level, and its foreign debt has increased
to more than 25%, while its total public debt has reached more than half a
trillion riyals. These losses pushed the Qatari regime to depend on Turkey and
Iran, so Tamim supported the Turkish lira with more than $25 billion,
equivalent to half of Doha’s budget for this year.
Qatar's losses from the Arab boycott have not been confined
to the economic side only, but were also reflected on the political level, as
Doha is experiencing a state of increasing regional isolation, which was
clearly demonstrated in Doha’s lack of political representation in the Arab
world and internationally. The Arab boycott has also reduced foreign investment
in Qatar, especially since most of its investors were from Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC) countries. Private deposits have decreased by $40 billion.
Former Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabr Al
Thani recently revealed on Twitter that his country fears of the American base located
there, which protects Tamim both at home and abroad, warning of the new US
policy that seems to favor reducing its military presence around the world.
The former prime minister asserted that the United States
would lose its global military power, which had provided it many direct and
indirect economic and financial advantages. He added that countries like China,
Russia and India will likely fill this void in the future.
Observers believe that Hamad bin Jassim’s statements seem to
have come at an appropriate time for Erdogan, allowing him to increase his
extortion of Tamim through the portal of Turkish military bases in Qatar to
protect the emir from threats both inside and outside his country, especially
with increasing information about popular discontent in Doha and the
frustration of several military coup attempts.
