Red Star is Doha’s arm in supporting Erdogan

Noura Bendari

Qatar works hard to offer help to its allies in the region, especially Iran and Turkey. It gives them whatever it takes to implement their terrorist plans in the region.

Turkey suffers a tough economic crisis at present. This brings up the importance of the role of Qatar which is functioning as a bank offering a continual supply of cash for the Turkish government and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Erdogan is bent on reviving the Ottoman Empire, enlisting help from states like Qatar which also offers support to Turkey as it explores gas in the Black Sea.

Red Star and Turkish gas

Turkish media revealed on September 8 that the Qatari airlines Red Star had offered support to Turkey as it explored natural gas in the Red Sea.

The Qatari airlines transported goods and medicines to ease the gas exploration mission.

The Qatari company Gulf Helicopter owns 49% of the shares of Red Star. Qatari businessman Galal Imra Derson owns 46% of the shares of the company, whereas a Turkish businessman owns 5% of the shares of the company.

The Qatari company released a statement recently in which it said it takes pride in being part of the largest natural gas find in Turkish history.

The statement included a photo of a helicopter of the Qatari company on board of the Turkish exploration ship Fatih.

Fatih declared on August 21 that it had found a major gas discovery in the Black Sea.

The discovery, it said, has 320 billion cubic meters of gas reserves, it said.

Erdogan said the find is the largest in the history of the Black Sea.
