The crisis is the greatest faced by the Gulf region in decades

Four Arab states have sent Qatar a list of 13 demands it must meet if it wants them to lift their sanctions.

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain are asking the Gulf state to shut down its broadcaster, Al Jazeera. **요구(1): 아랍권 영어방송 알자지라를 폐쇄하라.

They are also asking Qatar to reduce ties with Iran and close a Turkish military base - all within 10 days. **요구(2): 10일 이내에 이란과 관계를 줄이라. **요구(3): 10일 이내에 터키 군사기지를 폐쇄하라.

Qatar, which sought to raise its profile in recent years, denies funding terrorism and fostering instability.

It has been subjected to more than two weeks of unprecedented diplomatic and economic sanctions, in the worst political crisis among Gulf countries in decades.

Five surprising facts about Qatar

There was no immediate response from Qatar but Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said earlier that it would not negotiate until the punitive measures were lifted.

He also denied his country supported "any terrorist organisation".

A murky business: analysis by Lyse Doucet, BBC chief international correspondent

This fight is a murky business in the region. (murky: not fully explained or understood, especially with concealed dishonesty or immorality. 미심쩍은, 수상한)

Money from official and private sources has flowed to armed groups from most Gulf states for years. In Syria's war, it often amounted to sacks of cash dropped at hotels in Turkey. That is where accountability often ended as money moved across the border to messy battlefields.

Qatar repeatedly came under criticism in many capitals for allegedly backing the al Qaeda-linked Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, which was previously known as al-Nusra Front and is one of the most formidable jihadist groups battling President Bashar al-Assad's forces. But other Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, also fund hardline Islamist fighters.

What are the other demands?

According to the Associated Press news agency, which obtained a copy of the list, Qatar must also:

• Sever all ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is banned in other Arab states (sever ties with: ~와 관계를 단절하다)

• Refuse to naturalise citizens from the four countries and expel those currently on its territory, in what the countries describe as an effort to keep Qatar from meddling in their internal affairs

• Hand over all individuals who are wanted by the four countries for terrorism

• Stop funding any extremist entities that are designated as terrorist groups by the US

• Provide detailed information about opposition figures whom Qatar has funded, ostensibly in Saudi Arabia and the other nations (ostensibly: 표면상으로, 겉으로)

• Align itself politically, economically and otherwise with the Gulf Co-operation Council (align: 나란히 하다, 조정/조절하다)

• Stop funding other news outlets in addition to Al Jazeera, including Arabi21 and Middle East Eye

• Pay an unspecified sum in compensation

An unnamed official from one of the four countries told Reuters news agency that Qatar was also being asked to sever links with so-called Islamic State, al-Qaeda and Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah.

According to the document seen by AP, Qatar is being asked to shut down diplomatic posts in Iran, expel any members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard and only conduct trade with Iran that complies with US sanctions.

The document specifies that both Al Jazeera and all of its affiliates must be shut down. Al Jazeera, which has an English-language branch, is one of the most widely watched Arabic satellite channels. **알자지라: 아랍방송이나 영어방송도 하고, 아랍방송 중 가장 널리 시청되는 아랍어 위성방송임.

Gulf countries and Saudi Arabia's close ally, Egypt, have long accused the broadcaster of providing a platform for Islamist movements and encouraging dissent - claims the broadcaster has denied. **타켓이 된 이유: 이슬람 운동의 발판 역할을 해오고 있고 (아랍세계의) 반정부세력을 지지하고 있다.

Can Al Jazeera survive Qatar crisis?

What if Qatar doesn't meet the demands?

If ten days pass and Qatar has failed to comply, the list becomes "void", the Reuters source said, without elaborating.

It would appear that at least some of the demands are unacceptable to Qatar.

Foreign Minister Thani said this week his country would not accept any "foreign dictations" and "rejected discussing any matter related to the Al Jazeera channel as it considered it an internal affair".

Who is helping Qatar?

Turkey has been supplying Qatar with food and other goods by air since the sanctions started, and dispatched its first ship carrying food this week, Reuters reports.

Exports from Turkey to the Gulf state have tripled from their normal levels to $32.5m since the sanctions, Turkish Customs and Trade Minister Bulent Tufenkci said on Thursday. (triple: 3배가 되다)

Turkish Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci was quoted as saying that 105 planeloads of supplies had been sent but the airlifting supplies was not sustainable in the long run.

The Turkish military base in Qatar was set up under an agreement signed in 2017.

Two dozen more Turkish soldiers and five armoured cars arrived in Qatar on Thursday, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reports. Turkey already has some 90 soldiers deployed at the base.

Turkish Defence Minister Fikri Isik was quoted by Reuters as saying any demand for the base's closure would represent interference in Ankara's relations with Qatar.

Qatar is also supplied by Iran, which sends about 1,100 tonnes of fruit and vegetables each day by sea, Iran's Fars news agency reports.

It has also opened its airspace to flights to and from Qatar, which has been banned from using Saudi and other countries' airspace.

Where is America in this?

The list of demands was announced after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urged Qatar's neighbours to make their demands "reasonable and actionable". **사우디와 주변3국이 카타르에게 13가지 사항을 요구한 이유: 미국무장관이 카타르 이웃들에게 "합리적이고 실천적인"요구를 하도록 요청. 결국 미국이 압력을 넣었기 때문. 어쩐지 갑작스럽게 이런 일이 발생할 수 없었는데, 그 배후에 미국이 있었던 것임. 자기보다 힘이 약한 "부하"같은 동맹국가들에게 힘을 행사해 자신의 이익을 취하는 행위는 "깡패"나 하는 행위일 것이다.

Correspondents say there has been frustration in Washington, which is seeking to resolve the dispute, over the time taken by the Saudis and others to formalise their demands.

US President Donald Trump has taken a hard line towards Qatar, accusing it of being a "high level" sponsor of terrorism.

However, the Arab states involved in the crisis are all close allies of the US.

America's largest base in the Middle East is in Qatar. 중동최대 미군기지가 카타르에 있는데, 그 카타르가 미국이 제일 싫어하는 테러리즘 혹은 테러리즘 연계세력이나 국가를 재정적으로 돕는다는 것이 말이 될까? 그런 나라에 어떻게 중동최대 미군기지를 건설할 수 있었을까? 도대체 말이 안 된다고, 난 생각한다. 미국이 사우디를 비롯한 아랍4개국에 그런 요구를 카타르에 하도록 압력을 넣었고, 4개국이 그 압력을 요구사항을 카타르에 전달했다는 것은 진짜 웃기는 얘기다. 진짜 ㄱ ㅅ ㄲ 들이다.
