MOSCOW — Four Gulf Arab States demanded on Friday that Qatar reduce ties with Iran, halt military cooperation with Turkey and shut the Al Jazeera TV channel, media reported.
According to Sputnik, the list of conditions Doha needs to meet in order to mend ties with regional powers was reportedly passed on earlier in the day by Kuwait, which is mediating the dispute.
The Financial Times, which saw the 13-point list, said Qatar has been given ten days to comply with the requirements, including the immediate shutdown of the Turkish military base on its soil and the Doha-based Al Jazeera as well as affiliated channels.
Other conditions require Qatar to cut all ties with the Muslim Brotherhood and other groups, including al-Qaeda and Daesh, to put an end to terror financing and handover people designated as terrorists by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt.
Officials in Doha have not yet made any comments on the report.
The four states, led by Saudi Arabia, severed diplomatic ties with Qatar on June 5 after accusing it of funding extremism and destabilizing the Middle East. The nations then embargoed all sea, air and land traffic to the country, triggering food shortages.
