Iran, Turkey sign deal with Qatar to ease Gulf blockade

Tehran (AFP) - Iran and Turkey signed a deal Sunday with Qatar aimed at boosting commercial ties with the Gulf state which is under blockade by its Arab neighbours, Iranian state television said.

The broadcaster's website said the agreement provides for the creation of a "joint working group to facilitate the transit of goods between the three countries".

It also said the three nations aimed to tackle "obstacles to sending goods from Iran and Turkey to Qatar".

Since the crisis erupted, Iran and Turkey -- whose relations have warmed considerably in recent months -- have sought to help break Qatar's isolation, including by increasing food exports to the emirate.
