Abdullah Al-Thani issues second statement over Qatari crisis

CAIRO- 17 September, 2017: Qatari royal family member Sheikh Abdullah bin Ali Al-Thani issued a statement on Sunday published by his official Twitter account regarding the current political crisis in Arab Gulf region.

The statement came as the following:”It hurts me, as the situation is getting worse to the extent of obvious provoking against the stability of the Arab Gulf region, interference in another’s affairs, pushing the region to an unknown and unwanted fate, similar to the fate of states chose to act unwisely to end up drowning in chaos and ruin.

Given the current situation, I call the reasonable members of the Qatari royal family and the prominent figures of the emirate to launch a national meeting over the current political crisis, as an attempt to keep back the strong ties between Arab Gulf states.

My call is not an act of showing off or bragging, I am just optimistic regarding what I can provide to ease the consequences of the current crisis among Qatari citizens. I have found open doors during my two meetings with the Saudi King, Salman Bin Abdulaziz, who expressed his keenness to protect the interests of Qatari people.”
