Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan Monday said he hoped a dispute between a Saudi-led bloc and Qatar would "swiftly" come to an end amid emerging signs of a possible breakthrough in the Gulf crisis.
"My wish is that the Gulf crisis will be swiftly resolved," Erdogan said at the
Turkish military base, where around 5,000 troops are stationed.
"Those who tell us to close down this base have yet to grasp the fact that
Turkey was Qatar's friend in difficult times," Erdogan said.
