Fidan Completes Gulf Tour – Ankara's Diplomatic Mobility

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has completed a tour of Gulf countries, holding meetings with top officials in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The purpose of the tour was to prevent further escalation of the crisis in the region following Iran's attacks. Fidan discussed developments with the leaders of the countries and participated in consultative meetings. The flight of the Turkish delegation from Qatar to the Emirates followed a land route for security reasons, avoiding the coastal route in the Gulf, indicating increased tension in the region. This move is part of Ankara's diplomatic mobility to restore stability.
