Problems in Qatar

In view of the problems in the last few days regarding the above and the fact that Turkey supports Qatar i.e. deployment of troops etc, do you think this will have a knock on effect in respect of air travel out of Turkey. Borders with Qatar have been closed, Qatari citizens are being told to leave surrounding countrie and go back to Qatar.. This is down to Qatar openly supporting al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas and other organization such as Muslim Brotherhood. For Turkey to be so closely involved, will surely tighten the resolve of other countries around the world towards passengers flying out of Turkey. Just a thought!!! Those of us who have never flown out of Larnaca, will be checking on flight times I suspect?

Arabic, with a local Qatari Arabic dialect being prevalent, and also English is widely spoken in the business community,

Why do you ask?
