The Shura Council’s Foreign Affairs, Defence and National Security Committee has strongly condemned and denounced the hostile statements made by Turkey’s Defence Minister, Hulusi Akar, against the brotherly United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The committee, chaired by Dr. Abdulaziz bin Abdulla Al-Ajman, stressed that the Turkish official’s statements are rejected and provocative as they contravene diplomatic principles and norms.
The committee considered the Turkish minister’s statements an assault against a brotherly country that is keen on supporting the Arab Nation, as well as assisting the International Community to assume its effective role in spreading peace and stability in all countries of the world.
The panel reiterated Bahrain’s full solidarity with the UAE, and backing of the measures it takes to safeguard its security and sovereignty.
The Shura Council committee denounced the Turkish Defence Minister’s statements, and his country’s constant interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries, which constitutes a breach of the principles of the charters of the United Nations and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, and poses a threat to Arab national security, regional peace and efforts to safeguard peace in the region.
