Shut Al-Jazeera, Isolate Iran: 13 Demands on Qatar to End Crisis – By Mohammed Sergie & Fiona Macdonald / June 23 2017
The Saudi-led alliance that’s cut off Qatar over its foreign policy and alleged support for Islamists has drawn up a list of 13 demands to end the three-week-old crisis in the Gulf. Below are the demands, as confirmed by a Gulf official involved in the process, some of which are followed by Qatar’s previously stated position on the issue. The four countries opposing Qatar are Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates and Egypt.
Qatar should officially reduce its diplomatic representation with Iran and close down its offices in the country; all members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and those linked to them must depart Qatar; dealing with Iran should be restricted to commercial exchange allowed under international and U.S. sanctions and those that don’t harm the security of the Gulf Cooperation Council; cut off any military or intelligence cooperation with Iran.
- QATAR POSITION: Denies it has a special relationship with Iran, but as a neighboring country says there has to be positive dialog with the Islamic Republic.
- Immediate closure of Turkish military base that’s being established in Qatar, and stop all military cooperation with Turkey inside Qatar
