DOHA: Turkey deployed soldiers to a new military base in Qatar on Thursday as part of a security agreement which visiting Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said would help counter threats to both countries.
Davutoglu told students at Qatar University that the base, Turkey’s first overseas military installation in the Middle East, was a “presence for stability.”
“I came here and I met with our officers. I told them Qatar is your second home, you are not in a foreign country,” he said.
