TURKISH-QATAR Relations | FRIENDS in Need | KJ Vids

A week since the Turkish Lira crisis hit the headlines and whilst Erdogan and Trump play out a diplomatic tussle, the Turkish lira improved from record lows after Qatar’s Sheikh – Thamim bin Hamad Al Thani – said Qatar was standing by it “brothers in Turkey,” as he announced a $15bn investment into the country’s financial markets and banks.

But why has Qatar entered the scene and helped to temporarily, temper the crises. I’m Kasim, this is KJ Vids and in this video, we will look at the Qatar-Turkish alliance and the motive that Qatar has in allying with Turkey.

Qatar and Turkey are bound by strategic relations at the political, economic and military levels.
