Al-Yamani, in a statement to KUNA, described the Gulf diplomacy as wise, mindful, and flexible in terms of softening the "dilemma of the Russian diplomacy," by working over the past two weeks to convince the Russians to be part of the solution instead of being part of the already complicated problem.
The ambassador added that Yemen expected such stance from the Gulf Cooperation Council, expressing his content for such a position that reflects Arabian Gulf inherent relations, which are supporting the Yemeni people and constitutional legitimacy, led by President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.
Al-Yamani added that the Gulf position confirms that they live in one area with common destiny.
