Qatar has already stated that they agree to start negotiations, but only after the Arab states lift the blockade. Earlier, Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Maldives, Mauritius, Mauritania and the Union of the Comoros declared a break in diplomatic relations with Doha. Jordan and Djibouti reduced the level of their diplomatic missions in Qatar. Senegal, Niger and Chad announced the recall of ambassadors.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Minister of Qatar, Mohammad bin Abdel Rahman al-Thani, earlier made it clear that only issues related to the policy of the Cooperation Council of the Arab States of the Persian Gulf, of which Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman are members are subject to discussion. "Everything that is not related to this body, we will not discuss. "Al Jazeera" is the business of Qatar, our internal policy on regional issues is also the case of Qatar. We will not discuss our business with anyone, "the minister said..

In response, the UAE warned Qatar that the sanctions imposed on it can be lifted only if Doha agrees with all the requirements and implements them in the coming days. "Isolation can last for years.

If the Qatarians intend to continue to sit in isolation because of their perverted views on their own political role - let them sit, "the media quotes the words of the Deputy Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Anwar Gargash.

Next week, Foreign Minister of Qatar al-Thani is on an official visit to the USA. The emirate does not hide the fact that the main topic of the talks is the economic blockade and the threat of isolation.

Recall that on Friday, June 23, it became known that Qatar simplified the visa regime for Russians.
