The former head of Yemen Ali Abdullah Saleh asked the Gulf Cooperation Council for a safe exit from Yemen for him and his family.
"Saleh sent his representative to request a safe exit for himself and his family. The request was rejected", Al Arabiya channel reports.
In addition, according to the channel, Saleh's emissaries, located in the capitals of the Arabian monarchies, do not deny the fact that "he was crushed," but they're trying to convey the idea that the former president has nothing to do with the Houthis, TASS reports.
"The attempts to deny his relationship with the Houthis are political and moral bankruptcy," the source said.
