Qatar hosts a Turkish military presence under a 2014 defence agreement, run as a joint force command since 2015 and expanded during the 2017 Gulf blockade. It is the only standing non-Western external force in a Gulf Cooperation Council state, and Türkiye's Gulf role before the Makkah agreement.
Türkiye and the Gulf maintains a presence hosted by Qatar. A directional arrangement: the two parties do not hold the same position in it. Authored once and read from both ends.

Zusammenfassung
A Qatar–Türkiye defence agreement of December 2014, ratified by Türkiye in 2015, provided for a Turkish military presence in Qatar; the joint force command was established in 2015 and its base, later named for Tariq bin Ziyad, was expanded during the Saudi-led blockade of Qatar from June 2017, when Türkiye's parliament fast-tracked further deployment. Both governments describe the arrangement as training, exercises and joint operations; no strength, capability or disposition is authored here. Its significance in this module is structural: when Türkiye signed the Makkah agreement in August 2026 it already had a force in the Gulf, hosted by the state that also hosts CENTCOM's forward headquarters and mediates with Tehran.
Warum es wichtig ist
The Makkah agreement is untested, its text public only since October 2026; the Qatar arrangement is a decade old and real. Together they show Türkiye holding a standing presence in one Gulf state and a defence pact with another, which is the clearest evidence in the module that Gulf security is being built with partners outside the Council and outside the Western alliance system.
