(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The State of Qatar has welcomed the decision of the Kingdom of Bahrain to allow the Bahraini citizens who were transiting through Doha from the Islamic Republic of Iran to return home.
'We wish that the Kingdom of Bahrain had accepted the State of Qatar's offer to fly the Bahraini citizens home on a private charter flight, instead of prolonging their waiting time, the Government Communication Office (GCO) said yesterday.
'The State of Qatar stands ready to play its humanitarian role during this global crisis. It is unfortunate that the Kingdom of Bahrain has launched allegations, false accusations and politicised the humanitarian situation of its citizens attempting to transit home.
"Allowing them to return home, as requested by the State of Qatar to the relevant authorities in the Kingdom of Bahrain, is a step in the right direction, the statement said.
It added: 'As the health and safety of these Bahraini citizens is paramount at this time, the Ministry of Public Health in the State of Qatar will communicate with its counterpart in the Kingdom of Bahrain, to inform them of the results of the medical tests that have conducted. Qatar wishes the Bahraini citizens good health and safety.
