President Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that Turkey would do its best to solve problems between the"brothers of the Gulf region" as he prepared to visit Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar on July 23-24.
Erdogan has been a staunch ally of Qatar in its dispute with its neighbours. He has criticised a list of demands by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt to end sanctions they imposed on Doha.
In a speech in Istanbul, Erdogan said the political problems were temporary and he called on Saudi Arabia and its allies to invest in Turkey.
