Russia is ready to help mediate in the dispute between Qatar and Arab states if asked to do so, said Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt severed ties and imposed sanctions on Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorism.
Doha has denied the allegations.
"We are interested in this crisis being overcome, taking into account mutual concerns and finding solutions which will be acceptable for all participants of this process," Lavrov told Kurdish television channel Rudaw, according to a transcript of the interview published on the foreign ministry's website.
