WHAT DOES QATAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Qatar

Qatar

Qatar, officially the State of Qatar, is a sovereign Arab country, located in Western Asia, occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeasterly coast of the much larger Arabian Peninsula. Its sole land border is with Saudi Arabia to the south, with the rest of its territory surrounded by the Persian Gulf. A strait in the Gulf separates Qatar from the nearby island kingdom of Bahrain. Before the discovery of oil, Qatar was noted mainly for pearl hunting. Following Ottoman rule it became a British protectorate in the early 20th century until gaining independence in 1971. Qatar has been ruled by the Al Thani family since the mid-19th century. In 1995, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani became Emir when he deposed his father, Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, in a peaceful coup d'état, only to later step down in favour of his son, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, on June 2013. Qatar's semi-elected Majlis al Shura has very limited legislative authority to draft and approve laws. Qatar has the most conservative society in the GCC after Saudi Arabia. Most Qataris belong to the strict Wahhabi sect of Islam.

7 QUOTES WITH «QATAR»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word Qatar.
1
Anthony Albanese
The fact is Qatar, Etihad, Emirates, Singapore, Garuda, all of the three Chinese airlines, Air New Zealand - the fact is that international aviation relies very much upon agreements between nation-states, and it is not an area in which you have free market operations.
2
Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned
We believe... that by encouraging critical thinking and processing of knowledge we are creating full, well-rounded human beings... that will enable Qatar to build up its society. You cannot build a healthy society without giving your citizens a sense of ownership. Otherwise, they will not share with you the responsibilities.
3
Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned
Qatar is giving 2.8% of our GDP to research. This is something again that is a breakthrough, as nobody was even thinking of research as a tool or component for advancement in this part of the world.
4
Frank Carlucci

5
Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani
I really don't want you to think of Qatar as a hydrocarbon country alone. We know that hydrocarbons will come and go. But education will stay. It is the most important thing for us.
6
Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani
Of course we are coming to invest in Germany - that is certain. Most airplanes in the fleet of Qatar Airways are from Airbus.
7
Nick Turse
Whether I'm trying to figure out what the U.S. military is doing in Latin America or Africa, Afghanistan or Qatar, the response is remarkably uniform - obstruction and obfuscation, hurdles and hindrances. In short, the good old-fashioned military runaround.
