Russian agency: Qatar is considering sending ambassador to Sanaa soon

DOHA, Oct. 21 (YPA) – An informed source revealed that Qatar is currently considering sending an ambassador to the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, soon.

The Russian agency “Sputnik”, late on Tuesday, quoted the source as saying that all indications during the past years were pointing to a Qatari rapprochement with Sanaa.

Doha withdrew from the Saudi-led coalition, and it was accused at that time of providing support to what they called “Houthis,” the source said, adding “This is an indication that Qatar was not satisfied with this aggression against Yemen.”

The source, who refused to reveal his identity, indicated to the blockade imposed by Saudi Arabia and the UAE on Qatar, which Iran had stepped forward to lift it and provide support to it in light of the crisis that still exists so far, creating a kind of rapprochement and strategic cooperation and the distinguished relationship between Doha and Tehran.

He continued, “Doha may take this step as a kind of gratitude to Tehran, after Iran has become today a pivotal country that no one can exclude or deny, and this is a reality.”

The source emphasized that “Qatar is dealing with statesmanship and rational policy in the region and it does not want to enter into hostility.”

He added that this applies to Oman, although it differs with Sanaa in its political orientations, but it participates in the aggression against Yemen, and today it plays a mediating role and has made historic achievements that are added to its national and Arab credit.

Last Saturday, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the arrival of its new ambassador to the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
