Seems odd, will the Qataris get the first VVIP A380 instead of a third B-748 BBJ? Did the deal for the order stall and finally be torpedoed by the U.S.-GCC sanctions?
Looks like this plane has been parked at PAE for years:

According to FR24 in recent months VQ-BSK has sometimes operated Azur Air sectors normally flown by B-738's or B-752's. It doesn't seem likely to me that a small charter airline would operate a B-748 BBJ Moscow-Vladivostok on an occasional basis.
A case of mistaken aircraft identity or fake news planted to discredit Erdogan and the Qataris?
