A video of Erdogan's reaction to receiving the son of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Tamim, is becoming popular

Activists circulated on social media a video clip showing the reaction of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to receiving Sheikh Hamad bin Tamim, the son of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. In the circulating video clip published by the official Turkish Anatolia news agency, Erdogan extends his hand to the face of Sheikh Hamad bin Tamim and kisses him after receiving his father, the Emir of Qatar, on Wednesday, on the sidelines of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31).

The Turkish city of Antalya is hosting the conference, in which leaders and officials from 9 Arab countries will participate, according to the Anatolia News Agency. The agency stated that "the meetings that Antalya witnessed were not limited to meetings of Arab officials on environmental files, but rather extended to issues of security, stability, economic cooperation and reconstruction. While the Gaza crisis was present in the Palestinian-Turkish meetings, regional and international relations emerged in the movements of the Syrian and Iraqi presidents, while the meetings of Lebanese and Kuwaiti officials focused on economic and energy cooperation, in addition to political and security developments."
