Turkey and Saudi Arabia form ‘joint working group’ on missing journalist
A Turkish official says Turkey and Saudi Arabia will form a “joint working group” to look into the disappearance of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi.
The journalist vanished last week after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
Turkish officials have said The Washington Post contributor may have been killed inside the consulate, but they haven’t offered any evidence. Saudi Arabia has denied the allegation as “baseless.”
A spokesman for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey tells the state-run Anadolu Agency that Turkey and Saudi Arabia have agreed to set up the group to jointly “shed light” on the incident.
Spokesman Ibrahim Kalin says the proposal to set up the committee was made by Saudi Arabia.
