Qatar has accused the blockading countries of being responsible for the dissolution of the Gulf Cooperation Council. <br/><br/>The comments were made by Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani in a joint press conference with his Iraqi counterpart Ibrahim al-Jaafari in Doha today. <br/><br/>The Qatari Minister added that international efforts to combat terrorism and resolve crises in the region have been affected by what he called obstinacy of the embargo countries. <br/><br/>For his part, Ibrahim al-Jaafari said that his country believes that dialogue is the best course of action in case of a disagreement, adding that Iraq is against isolating and besieging any other country. The conference reviewed ways of boosting bilateral relations and the reconstruction of Iraq post-Islamic State.<br/><br/>In June, Egypt, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE cut off diplomatic relations with Qatar and imposed a land, sea and air blockade after accusing it of supporting terrorism. Qatar has strongly denied the allegation.
