Turkey built a multi-purpose military base for its air force and navy in Qatar, Sputnik news agency reported.
Alongside the US, Ankara now has a site for military deployment in the Gulf nation.
The new outpost will allow Turkish troops to participate in military operations in the Red Sea, Northern Africa, and the Persian Gulf.
Thus, for the first time since 1950, the Turkish navy will have access to the Pacific.
"Today, an agreement was signed on military cooperation, in accordance with which the Turkish Armed Forces' military base in Qatar started its work," Davutoglu said.
