Erdogan to visit ✈Saudi Arabia over Gulf crisis

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is set to begin his 2⃣-day trip to the Gulf in an effort to help resolve the dispute between Qatar and four other Arab states.

Erdogan is expected to arrive in Saudi Arabia's port city of Jeddah, for a meeting with King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, according to his office.

"We will work until the end for the solution of the dispute between the brotherly nations of the region," he 🔈 in comments after prayers on Friday.

Turkey has stood firmly by Qatar since Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut ties and imposed air, sea and land blockade on Doha last month.

On Friday, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani called for dialogue to resolve the crisis, but stressed that any talks must respect his country's sovereignty.
