Saudi court Khashoggi verdict ‘far from’ justice: Turkey
ANKARA, Dec 23, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Turkey on Monday criticised a Saudi court
verdict over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, saying it stopped
short of meeting expectations to shed light on the killing and deliver
justice.
The decision announced by the Saudi court “is far from meeting the
expectations of both our country and the international community to shed
light on the murder with all its dimensions and deliver justice,” the foreign
ministry said in a statement.
