Will Turkey push for UN investigation into Khashoggi murder?
Turkish President Erdogan says he is determined to find out who ordered the killing of the Saudi journalist.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has demanded more answers into the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
At the G20 Summit in Argentina, Erdogan criticised Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for offering an “unbelievable explanation” on Khashoggi’s killing that denied any Saudi leadership role.
