Turkey may launch international probe into Khashoggi

Foreign minister says investigations are ongoing in case of slain journalist

By Tugrul Cam

ANKARA (AA) - Turkey will not hesitate to consult international quarters if a deadlock is reached on the Jamal Khashoggi probe, the foreign minister said Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters after the NATO Foreign Minister's meeting in Brussels, Mevlut Cavusoglu said a probe into the killing of the Saudi journalist is ongoing.

Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist and columnist for The Washington Post, was killed after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2.

After saying he had left the consulate alive, Saudi Arabia admitted weeks later that Khashoggi was killed there, blaming his death on a group of rogue Saudi operatives.

Reacting to recent remarks by U.S. special envoy to Syria calling Astana peace talks a failure, Cavusoglu said the statement was "unfortunate".

U.S. Syria envoy James Jeffrey will travel to Turkey for High-Level Working Group on Syria and this issue will also be raised in the meeting, he said.

Cavusoglu also noted that U.S. President Donald Trump himself brought up the F-35 fighter jets issue during a meeting with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the G20 Summit last week.

"We don't want any problem," he added.
