The document was signed by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan and the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, during a meeting in Istanbul. The parties also agreed to expand joint military exercises, the training of military personnel and cooperation between defence industries. This was reported by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Reuters.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Key points at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On 13 November 2026, Turkey and Qatar signed a mutual defence agreement in Istanbul.<\/li>\n<li>The document sets out a common position in the event of an external armed attack on one or both states.<\/li>\n<li>The parties have agreed to conduct joint military exercises and to exchange expertise on military training.<\/li>\n<li>Ankara and Doha will expand cooperation between their defence industries and consultations on security threats.<\/li>\n<li>The agreement was concluded against the backdrop of the war with Iran and the escalating security situation in the Middle East.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>What does the defence agreement between Turkey and Qatar entail?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The document was signed during the 12th meeting of the Higher Strategic Committee <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/economics\/ukrayina-70-atacms-12-m270-turechchyna\/\">Turkey<\/a> and Qatar, which took place at the Dolmabah\u00e7e Presidential Palace in Istanbul.<\/p>\n<p>In a joint statement, the parties reaffirmed their intention to maintain a coordinated stance in the event of an external armed attack on any of the countries. They stated that the aim of the agreement was to strengthen collective defence, protect sovereignty and territorial integrity, and maintain regional stability.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the cooperation will involve regular consultations on military threats, joint exercises, the exchange of expertise on personnel training, and the development of the defence industry.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the full text of the agreement and the mechanism for the use of military force have not been publicly detailed. Therefore, there is as yet no basis for asserting that an attack on one state would automatically mean the other entering the war.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Erdogan has stated that a new war in the Persian Gulf must be avoided<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>During the talks, the Turkish President emphasised that Ankara and Doha intend to work towards preventing a renewed escalation of hostilities in the region <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/world\/uae-saudi-arabia-qatar-pidtrymaly-perehovory-z-iranom\/\">Persian Gulf<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>Erdogan<\/strong>, the parties are seeking to create the conditions for diplomatic dialogue and the achievement of peace. The Turkish leader also reaffirmed his intention to deepen cooperation in the defence industry.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement was signed against the backdrop of <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/world\/tramp-peregovory-iran-katar\/\">war with Iran<\/a> and the escalation of security risks in the Middle East. However, in their joint statement, Ankara and Doha did not name any specific country against which the new defence mechanism is directed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Turkey is expanding its network of defence partnerships<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A new agreement with <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/politics\/ukrayina-and-katar-uklaly-oboronnu-uhodu\/\">Catarrh<\/a> marked another step in the development of Turkey\u2019s military ties with the countries of the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>In August 2026, Ankara, together with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, signed a separate defence pact in Mecca. It stipulates that an attack on one of the countries will be regarded as an attack on all the signatories.<\/p>\n<p>The Turkish parliament ratified this agreement in November. However, the new agreement with Qatar is a separate bilateral document, rather than an automatic inclusion of Doha in the trilateral pact.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Turkey and Qatar had previously joined the Badr multilateral memorandum alongside Pakistan and Indonesia. Its aim is to develop the participants\u2019 own defence technologies and manufacturing capabilities.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What other agreements have Turkey and Qatar signed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The defence agreement forms part of a wider package comprising five documents. Leaders and government representatives also agreed to cooperate on education, consumer protection, market regulation, the peaceful resolution of conflicts and diplomatic mediation.<\/p>\n<p>Particular attention was paid to economic relations. Ankara and Doha reaffirmed their intention to increase bilateral trade to 5 billion dollars and to develop cooperation in the supply of liquefied natural gas.<\/p>\n<p>The parties also discussed regional conflicts, in particular the situation in Gaza, Syria and Libya.<\/p>\n<p>As of 14 November 2026, the signing of the mutual defence agreement had been officially confirmed by both states. The next step will be to finalise the practical arrangements for military cooperation; however, no specific dates for new exercises or the procedures for fulfilling defence obligations have yet been announced.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0422\u0443\u0440\u0435\u0447\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0430 \u0442\u0430 \u041a\u0430\u0442\u0430\u0440 13 \u043b\u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e\u043f\u0430\u0434\u0430 2026 \u0440\u043e\u043a\u0443 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0443\u0433\u043e\u0434\u0443 \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0432\u0437\u0430\u0454\u043c\u043d\u0443 \u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0443, \u044f\u043a\u0430 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0431\u0430\u0447\u0430\u0454 \u0443\u0437\u0433\u043e\u0434\u0436\u0435\u043d\u0443 \u043f\u043e\u0437\u0438\u0446\u0456\u044e \u0434\u0432\u043e\u0445 \u0434\u0435\u0440\u0436\u0430\u0432 \u0443 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0456 \u0437\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0456\u0448\u043d\u044c\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0437\u0431\u0440\u043e\u0439\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u043d\u0430\u043f\u0430\u0434\u0443 \u043d\u0430 \u043e\u0434\u043d\u0443 \u0437 \u043d\u0438\u0445 \u0430\u0431\u043e \u043d\u0430 \u043e\u0431\u0438\u0434\u0432\u0456 \u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438. \u0414\u043e\u043a\u0443\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442 \u0422\u0443\u0440\u0435\u0447\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0438 \u0420\u0435\u0434\u0436\u0435\u043f \u0422\u0430\u0457\u043f \u0415\u0440\u0434\u043e\u0433\u0430\u043d \u0442\u0430 \u0435\u043c\u0456\u0440 \u041a\u0430\u0442\u0430\u0440\u0443 \u0422\u0430\u043c\u0456\u043c \u0431\u0456\u043d \u0425\u0430\u043c\u0430\u0434 \u0410\u043b\u044c \u0422\u0430\u043d\u0456 \u043f\u0456\u0434 \u0447\u0430\u0441 \u0437\u0443\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0456\u0447\u0456 \u0443 \u0421\u0442\u0430\u043c\u0431\u0443\u043b\u0456. \u0421\u0442\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438 \u0442\u0430\u043a\u043e\u0436 \u0434\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0441\u044f \u0440\u043e\u0437\u0448\u0438\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0438 [\u2026]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":207433355,"featured_media":37142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"\u0422\u0443\u0440\u0435\u0447\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0430 \u0442\u0430 \u041a\u0430\u0442\u0430\u0440 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0443\u0433\u043e\u0434\u0443 \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0432\u0437\u0430\u0454\u043c\u043d\u0443 \u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0443. \u0415\u0440\u0434\u043e\u0433\u0430\u043d \u0456 \u0435\u043c\u0456\u0440 \u041a\u0430\u0442\u0430\u0440\u0443 \u0434\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0432\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0441\u044f \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0441\u043f\u0456\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0456 \u0434\u0456\u0457 \u0432 \u0440\u0430\u0437\u0456 \u043d\u0430\u043f\u0430\u0434\u0443 \u0442\u0430 \u0432\u0456\u0439\u0441\u044c\u043a\u043e\u0432\u0456 \u043d\u0430\u0432\u0447\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f.","rank_math_title":"\u0422\u0443\u0440\u0435\u0447\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0430 \u0442\u0430 \u041a\u0430\u0442\u0430\u0440 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u043f\u0438\u0441\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u0443\u0433\u043e\u0434\u0443 \u043f\u0440\u043e \u0432\u0437\u0430\u0454\u043c\u043d\u0443 \u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0443","rank_math_focus_keyword":"\u0422\u0443\u0440\u0435\u0447\u0447\u0438\u043d\u0430","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805619,805616],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-world","category-main-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433355"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37140"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37140\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":37143,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37140\/revisions\/37143"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37140"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
