Qatar after Iraq objects Mecca anti-Iran statements

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - "The statements of the Persian Gulf and Arab summits were ready in advance and we were not consulted on them," Qatari foreign minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani told.

"Qatar has reservations on the Arab and Persian Gulf summits because some of their terms are contrary to Doha's foreign policy," he added, according to Press TV report.

"We hoped the Mecca summits would lay the groundwork for dialogue to reduce tensions with Iran," the Qatari top diplomat said in comments reposted on Twitter by his ministry.

"The Mecca summit ignored the important issues in the region, such as the Palestine issue and the war in Libya and Yemen," he went on to say.

Qatar is not the first Arab state to reject the final statements of the emergency meetings in Mecca. Following the talks, Iraq also opposed the communiqué issued by the Arab participants.
