Audio recordings related to Khashoggi's killing shared with Saudi, other officials: Erdogan
19
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday said officials from Saudi Arabia, the United States, Germany, France and Britain have listened to audio recordings related to the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
Erdogan’s comments are the first public confirmation of the existence of recordings of the October 2 killing of The Washington Post columnist at the consulate where he had gone to get papers to marry his fiancee.
Erdogan said: “They also listened to the conversations and they know.”
He called on Saudi Arabia to rid itself of the “stain” by cooperating with Turkey over the investigation.
Erdogan said a 15-member team that Turkey says was sent to kill Khashoggi know who is behind the killing as well as the location of his remains.

Why no action was taken by Turkish authorities to save one precious life..? By all standards human life is more important than the diplomatic norms...

Clearly, Erdogan is pretending to be a truth-lover.
He is not interested in bringing justice to martyr Khaggoshi's widow, instead, he is more interested in playing his card to negotiate his interests with Saudi crown prince ( and United States to an extent)..Simple..!

Where is all this leading the world to? Human beings are not human beings any more and to call them animals would be an insult to the poor animals.

Erdogan is slowly leaking all the information and evidence to gain maximum political advantage over the Saudis, but the world realizes that Erdogan is not very different from MBS and hundreds of journalists languish in Turkish prisons for speaking against Erdogan.

@Vivek M, He is trying to bring justice for the victim and expose the heinous crime. Yet some people fault him. Dammed if you do, dammed if you dont.

Saudi authorities will still stand behind the Crown Prince, who definitely has given the order for assassination.

Still those Saudis will get away with the murder. President Trump doesnt talk anymore about this issue. All he is concerned with the Saudis million dollars arms sale.

@Vivek M, yes, WOW, talk about stating the obvious. This is, unfortunately politics. I don’t think there is a leader in the world immune from it.

@Nanda, - honestly, does this concerns us? We in Pakistan are not in a position to criticize our friends who help us in our financial needs.
Give your productive suggestions to our government for improving our way of lives. We have murders almost everyday and the criminals are walking free. Respectfully

Saudi Arabia is already an exposed country in the eyes of the world as one of the most backward country living in 16th century.

Small drips every day. Turkey is really putting Saudis in the spotlight. After all, Tukish and Saudi foreign policies has been at odds for years in Syria and Egypt.

@Ahmed bin Babar, You assume that Turkish authorities already knew there will be killing. That does not seem to be the case. Any action based on mere suspicion would have created more diplomatic storm.
