Turkish Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci yesterday said Ankara, Doha and Tehran hoped to reach a tripartite agreement on transporting Turkish products to Qatar in a practical and cost-effective way, the official Qatar News Agency reported. “We’re thinking about alternatives for land trade routes with Qatar,” Zeybekci told Anadolu Agency. He said using cargo planes to carry Turkish products to Doha was not sustainable. “Shipment by sea will gain importance. We foresee that at least four large tonnage ships would go to Qatar monthly but the land route is an alternative for carrying flexible and smaller packages,” Zeybekci added, noting that the easiest option is sending these packages through Iran.
