Topic Reading-Vol.866-8/25/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Can Qatar, Saudi Arabia ease tensions at Gulf Cooperation Council?
Qatar is one of the smallest states in the world in geography but is the largest exporters of Liquidated Natural Gas, LNG. Also, it has its national flag airline, Qatar Airways which owns just 134 aircraft in its fleet but 350 more to come including eight Airbus 380, super jumbo aircraft, trying to become one of the largest hubs in the fast-growing Gulf region.
But why is this ambitious, small, gas-rich country trying to be so maverick? What benefits will they get by being so independent from its neighbors?
Enjoy reading and learning the complexity of Arab states in the Gulf region.
