LONDON
— The recent bilateral agreement signed by the Hamadain regime of Qatar with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan could signal danger and a possible escalation of unrest in the Gulf region, according to report published in the US news portal ‘The Daily Caller.”

The military agreement gives Qatar an opportunity to bring Turkish force and put it on their border with Saudi Arabia in the Gulf thereby escalating the conflict, the report said.

“It essentially gives Erdogan free reign in the use of Qatar’s territory to advance his ideological interests while using the power of NATO as the international alliance’s second-largest army,” it pointed out.

According to the Sweden-based monitoring site “Nordic Monitor,” the Turkey-Qatar pact can be “misused for military missions” in the Gulf.
