Turkey attacks UAE policy in Yemen

SANAA, June 19 (YPA) – Turkish Foreign Minister “Mouloud Jawish Oglu” accused the UAE of working to divide Yemen and foment sedition in other countries, stressing his country’s rejection of these policies altogether.

Jawish told Al-Jazeera that the UAE is trying to stir up strife and chaos in African countries and divide Yemen.

Referring to the UAE’s role in Libya, the Turkish minister said the intervention had a negative impact on neighboring countries, including Egypt and Tunisia.

The Turkish minister’s remarks came at a time when demands by politicians and Yemeni media loyal to al-Islah party (Yemeni Branch of the Muslim Brotherhood), the ideological and political ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, to intervene in Yemen “Libya-like” have escalated.

MintPress News reported that the Turkish government is preparing a “Libya-like” military involvement in Yemen, pointing out that Turkish officers and experts are currently participating in the fighting in Yemen through training, supervision of operations and the operation of drones.

Turkish officers and advisors in Yemen are lending comprehensive support to al-Islah militants.

Beginning in 2018, dozens of Turkish officers and experts reportedly arrived in Yemen, particularly in Shabwah, Abyan, Socotra, Mahrah and the coastal Directorate of Mokha near the Bab al-Mandab Strait as well as Marib, according to MintPress News.
