Turkey on Monday called for dialogue and said it was ready to help defuse the row between Qatar and Arab nations including Saudi Arabia and Egypt that accuse Doha of supporting extremism.
"It's a development that really saddened all of us," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Çavuşoğlu told reporters. "There could be problems between the countries but dialogue must prevail under all circumstances," he said, adding Ankara was ready to do its best to help resolve the dispute.
