Erdogan Accuses 'Highest Level' Saudi Officials of Ordering Khashoggi Murder
The killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi was sanctioned at the "highest levels" of the Saudi government, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, ''RT'' reports.
"We know that the order to kill Khashoggi came from the highest levels of the Saudi government," the Turkish leader wrote in a surprise contribution to Friday’s Washington Post, vowing to "reveal the identities of the puppet masters" behind the murder.
"No one should dare to commit such acts on the soil of a NATO ally again," Erdogan wrote dramatically. "Had this atrocity taken place in the United States or elsewhere, authorities in those countries would have gotten to the bottom of what happened. It would be out of the question for us to act any other way," he added, noting that Ankara has already "moved heaven and earth to shed light on all aspects of this case."
