MANAMA: Bahrain yesterday condemned hostile statements by Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar, regarding the UAE, considering them “an unacceptable provocation that contradicts diplomatic norms, and a reprehensible threat to a brotherly Arab country that is known for its constructive role in the international community”.
The Foreign Ministry affirmed Bahrain’s unwavering solidarity with the UAE regarding Turkish interventions in the internal affairs of Arab countries, which contradicts the principles of the UN Charter and the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation and represents a threat to Arab national security and regional peace .
