“Qatar has pledged US$15 billion of direct investments in Turkey,” presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin wrote on Twitter.
“Turkish-Qatari relations are based on solid foundations of true friendship and solidarity,” he said.
The announcement came after Qatar's emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani held lunchtime talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Erdogan thanked the emir and the people of Qatar for “standing by Turkey”, the official Anadolu news agency reported.
He said relations with Qatar, which he described as a “friendly and brotherly country”, would be boosted in many areas.
Turkish Finance Minister Berat Albayrak, who is Erdogan's son-in-law, and his Qatari counterpart Ali Sharif Al-Emadi were present at the talks in the capital Ankara.
Turkey has been rocked in recent days by a sharp decline in the value of its lira after US President Donald Trump tweeted last Friday that Washington was doubling aluminium and steel tariffs for Ankara.
Washington's move came during an ongoing dispute over Turkey's holding of an American pastor for two years.
In response, Erdogan has called for a boycott of US electrical goods while Ankara has sharply hiked tariffs on some US goods.
The turmoil has raised fears of a looming economic crisis in Turkey and prompted alarm that foreign investors in the country, including Qatar, could be hit in the fallout.
Turkey and Qatar — which are also a very close US ally — have become close economic and political partners in recent times.
Doha has US$20 billion worth of investments in Turkey, official figures showed last month, and Ankara is now one of the top exporters to the emirate.
In recent days, Qatari supporters of Turkey have begun a public campaign in Doha to change their riyals into lira in an attempt to shore up the plunging Turkish currency.
Underscoring the ties between the countries, Sheikh Tamim was the first foreign leader to phone President Erdogan during the failed coup in Turkey in 2016.
Ankara has been conspicuous in its support of Doha as Qatar battles with continued Saudi-led isolation from Arab neighbours. Turkey also maintains a small military base in Qatar.

A decorating dream in the White House: SD native spends three days as volunteer decorator sty White House
The large spacious gardens at the James River Correctional Center are maintained by just a few inmates. The fresh vegetables are primarily donated to the Community Action Food Pantry. John M. Steiner / The Sun2 / 5

Eight inmate gardeners at James River Correctional Center said the long hours come easier knowing the hard work is helping people in need.
The small incentives are a big reward, said Derek Emineth, a JRCC inmate gardener. “We are a good group of guys who work well together and it’s just nice giving back.”
The garden has doubled in space and output since it started with 3,200 square feet in 2016 to 8,390 square feet this year, said Arlie Lind, a correctional officer and garden supervisor. The garden produced 3,911 pounds of vegetables in 2016 and an abundance of periodic rain this year could help them surpass 8,000 pounds, he said.
The produce of beets, cabbage, carrots, garlic, green beans, green peppers, onions, potatoes, pumpkins, sweet peas, tomatoes, squash and zucchini is delivered weekly to the Community Action Region VI Food Pantry, Lind said.
“This is huge,” said Sarah Oberlander, coordinator of the Community Action food pantry. “We don't get any fresh produce besides what people bring in to us.”
The clientele love the fresh produce and are already asking about the squash, but that’s a fall vegetable and will come in later, she said. The pantry is grateful to Lind and the inmates, she said.
Vegetables are difficult to afford on a limited budget, said Maureen Wegenke, executive director of the senior center.
"We have a table set up at the center where seniors and others can pick up this produce,” Wegenke said “What a blessing for them.”
The purpose of the program is to teach new skills that the inmates can take with them when they leave, Lind said. The gardeners, some with and some without experience, are proud of their work and to know the result is helping people in need, he said.
“I’m so proud of those guys,” Lind said. “They do such a nice job and truly enjoy working out there.”
The response from retailers has been to donate seeds to the prison garden program as a way to support the food pantries, Lind said. Country Gardens Floral & Greenhouse Inc. donates potato seedlings and Home of Economy donates other seeds, he said.
“With the support of local merchants we have zero dollars expended in the garden,” Lind said. “Everything is donated.”
The pumpkins are used for a pumpkin painting event with children and fathers, said JRCC Warden Chad Pringle. The kids can take the pumpkin home with them, he said.
The gardeners also built a sensory garden in the recreation yard and maintain floral gardens around the facility, Pringle said. The construction class built raised flower planters for inmate walking areas to contrast the concrete and fence surroundings, he said.
“Just being able to walk by the flowers definitely has a calming impact and we have got a lot of positive comments from people who said they definitely appreciate it,” Pringle said.
The construction class built 12 adirondack chairs for the sensory garden and recreation yard, where inmates can sit among sunflowers and other plants that attract butterflies and hummingbirds, he said. A koi pond is in the works along with a tree nursery, he said.
“We are lucky that Arlie is willing to share his skills and gifts with these guys,” Pringle said. “He is a unique resource.”
Robert Venker, inmate gardener, said the work is like therapy and he enjoys watching the results with the fast-growing vegetables.
Lind said he understands the therapeutic effect of a garden. He said his home garden is a “refuge from when life turns its back on you.” It goes the same that the prison garden is an outlet for the inmates, he said.
“It has changed these guys that are involved in the program for the better,” Lind said. “We give them an opportunity to make a positive change in their life and the majority of the time they will pick that up and take that with them.”

Hello Jamestown friends, I am writing in support of the Jamestown Public Schools referendum. I am a concerned parent of children who have been in the JPS system for nine years, and I feel this small increase in our property taxes, only about $13 a month on the average $100,000 home, is well worth the impact it will have on this community’s children (this is far less than most of us spend on fast food in a month).
These are important updates that need to happen in our schools. In a 2014 facilities assessment, all elementary schools and the middle school scored poorly on air quality. They need their 1950s boilers, roofing and windows replaced and HVAC systems updated. I would hate to see an outdated boiler give out during the coldest days of winter, requiring the school to shut down, parents scrambling for child care and JPS trying to find funding to get the school reopened in haste. These maintenance needs are the largest and most important piece to the referendum.
The second-largest piece is to close Washington and create an addition to Louis L’Amour. This decision was based on more than five years of thought and consultation. Robert Lech and his team have spent many years working with many different committees before reaching this conclusion that the best possible path for our school system is to close Washington. Anyone interested in the process can read about it in the Board Memo on the Referendum 2018 page of the JPS website. Lech, the entire school board and the Citizen’s Advisory Committee understand the emotional attachment to Washington school and Ernie Gates Football Field. I am certain this decision was not taken lightly and if there was a better solution they would have found it over the last several of years of study. And even better, that they have an interested buyer that can repurpose Washington school into affordable housing.
With respect to the football field, if JPS sells the Washington school building they cannot keep the football field in that location. The high school campus is the best and safest place to have that field, not at an elementary school. And the bonus part of having the football field at JHS is that they would be able to make it a multi-function athletic complex to benefit not just the football team, but also track and field, marching band, PE classes and others. To put it into perspective, this multi-functional athletic complex would not be the largest piece of this referendum funding. It’s important to remember that the largest quantity of this money will go directly toward fixing, repairing and maintaining the buildings that house our children’s education!
