Turkey deploys troops to Qatar

The sixth batch of troops from the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) has reached the capital Doha, Qatar's defense ministry said.

"The sixth batch of Turkish forces has arrived in Qatar, to continue the ongoing joint cooperation in combating terror and violent extremism," the ministry said on Twitter. 

The statement said that the group, which went to Qatar under the military cooperation agreement between the two countries, joined the other Turkish forces in Doha and started a mutual mission with the Qatari Armed Forces, the Daily Sabah reported.

It is also highlighted that the cooperation is made in the defense industry for the support of the struggle with terror and extremism as well as protecting the stability and security in the region.

Last week, Qatar said that more Turkish troops had arrived at a Turkish military base in Doha after Ankara fast-tracked legislation last month for more soldiers to be deployed there. Training has been ongoing since June 19.
