Qatar calls charges of support of terrorism slander

On the other hand, the United Arab Emirates called Doha's arguments weak and naive.
Qatar's state position on terrorism is stable and known for refusing and condemning all forms of terrorism regardless of causes and motives”, the country's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

“Objections about Qatar's intervention in the country's internal affairs and the financing of terrorism are groundless charges,” stressed the source, adding that Doha actively supports anti-terrorism efforts in the region, which the international co-operation testifies to”.

The Foreign Ministry's strong communication added that joint statements from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahreni following Qatar's refusal to respect the 13 requirements list are unfortunate and “slandered the foundations of international relations.

“Doha also expressed his readiness to “co-operate and examine all claims that do not oppose Qatar State sovereignty”.

On Thursday, the four states committed to major diplomatic confrontation with Qatar pledged to impose additional <x0political, economic and legal measures”.

The announcement came a day after Qatar rejected the ultimatum, which included cutting ties with Iran, banning aid for the Muslim Brotherhood and other groups, and closing the Al Jazeera television network.
