The illegal siege of Qatar, which has been in effect since June 4, has no realistic reason, according to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

The top official also reiterated his country’s support for Kuwaiti mediation and reaffirmed that there was no reason why the crisis would not be settled, reported Gulf Times.

“In my opinion, there’s no reason not to settle this crisis. Brothers should avoid such crisis among them. Turkey supports the Kuwaiti initiative and it has made intensive contacts with Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Qatar,” he was quoted as saying by Xinhua.net.

Speaking in Khartoum during a joint Press conference with his Sudanese counterpart Ibrahim Ghandour, Cavusoglu denied the existence of any co-operation deals between Turkey, Qatar and Iran.

“There’s no Turkey-Iran-Qatar axis,” Cavusoglu was quoted as saying by Anadolu Agency, adding that Turkey did not discriminate between fellow Muslim countries. He highlighted the fact that Ankara had been one of the most vocal critics of Iran’s policy on Syria and Iraq.

Cavusoglu said his country’s main concern was to promote unity across the Islamic world, “not to sow sedition between Muslim countries as others have done.”
