What Are the Possible Consequences of Turkey-Qatar Military Cooperation?


A short while ago Turkey
and Qatar announced that they have an agreement in place to further
deepen their military cooperation within the framework of the “struggle against common enemies“, which implies the construction of two new military bases: a Turkish one in Qatar and a Qatari base in Turkey.

As
it was made clear by the Turkish Ambassador to Qatar, Ahmet Demirok,
Ankara is planning to construct a multi-purpose military installation
that will become home to some 3,000 soldiers. By taking this step Turkey
expects to become a state that is directly influencing security in the
Persian Gulf. In the future, this base will also provide Turkish armed
forces with an outpost for operations in the Red Sea, North Africa,
along with the access to the waters of the Pacific, which Turkey lost
back in 1950.
