Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu received Bahrain’s charge d’affaires and the envoys of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Ankara on Monday amid the ongoing Qatar crisis.
The meeting with the Saudi ambassador Walid Bin Abdul Karim El Khereiji, UAE ambassador Khalifa Shaheen Al-Marar and Bahraini charge d'affaires Komail Ahmed came after Turkey demanded an end to the Qatar blockade.
Bahrain’s foreign minister met with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Saturday.
Minister Çavuşoğlu discussed the expectations of Turkey and the international community, including his talks with officials from third parties regarding the diplomatic row in the Gulf.
Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Egypt and Yemen announced on June 5 that they had cut off all diplomatic relations with Qatar, accusing Doha of supporting terrorism.
Qatar denied the accusations and called the move unjustified.
Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain closed their airspace to Qatar and asked Qatari diplomats to leave their countries within 48 hours. Saudi Arabia also closed Qatar's only land border.
