Qatar rejects the ultimatum of the Arab countries, whose term expires July 2
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, speaking at a press conference in the capital of Italy in Rome on Saturday, said that the list “will be rejected”. They have been known to meet the requirements of the Arab countries regarding Qatar expires today, July 2.
“Everyone understands that these requirements are intended to violate the sovereignty of Qatar to close down freedom of speech and to introduce a mechanism of audit and oversight regarding Qatar,” he said.
“We believe that the world is not governed by the ultimatum, we believe that the world is governed by international law, it is subject to the order, which does not allow large countries to bully small countries,” he added.
We will remind, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain that broke diplomatic and economic ties with Qatar, than has provoked a deep crisis in the Persian Gulf, has put forward a list of demands to Qatar, consisting of 13 items.
From Qatar, in particular, demand to sever diplomatic ties with Iran, close the military base of Turkey on its territory and to close the channel “al Jazeera”.
As you know, a number of Arab countries severed diplomatic ties with Qatar.
The reason for these measures was the accusation of the authorities of Qatar in supporting terrorism, including “al-Qaeda” and “Islamic state”.
