Turkey conducts world's biggest airlift operation in two weeks to Qatar
"We have conducted the world's biggest airlift operation in two weeks. As of 12 AM last night 121 planes were sent [to Qatar], then a ship was followed by seven trucks. After that, one more ship sailed off while flights continue," Zeybekçi said.
Zeybekci expressed confidence that "these problems among brothers" would soon be sorted out through a dialogue.
Starting from June 5, Bahrain, Comoros, Egypt, Maldives, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen's internationally backed government and one of Libya's three governments have cut off diplomatic ties with Qatar over accusations that the Gulf nation funds militant groups – charges Doha calls baseless.
Since the beginning of the economic blockade of Qatar, Turkey has been sending tons of fruit, vegetables and other foodstuffs to the Gulf state.
