Turkish FM highlights Qatar’s growing mediation role
“Qatar is no longer just a regional mediator — it has become a global mediator,” he said, noting its role in conflict resolution in Africa and South America. Fidan stressed that the forum plays a key role in addressing global issues while also highlighting regional concerns, particularly Palestine and Syria. “I am very pleased to be here,” he added.
Fidan commended Qatar’s leadership, including Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, for their long-standing mediation efforts. He also highlighted the strong Türkiye–Qatar partnership, describing it as rooted in “unbreakable bonds” and reinforced by the personal rapport between President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Emir Tamim. The relationship spans investment, economy, technology, education, security, and defense, and Fidan indicated Ankara’s intention to further expand these ties.
Turning to regional conflicts, he criticized Israel for “daily and significant ceasefire violations” and for blocking promised humanitarian aid, calling these “major problems.” Fidan reiterated Türkiye’s willingness to support peace in Palestine, including potential contributions to a Stabilization Force.
On Syria, he noted that Türkiye, regional countries, and the international community continue to provide assistance, while warning that Israeli expansionist policies pose a growing threat to both Syria and the broader region.
