Turkey says to publicize results of probe into Khashoggi's assassination

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu announced on Friday that his country will share "with the world" the results of its ongoing probe into the alleged murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi once it is over.

"We have certain information and evidence [regarding Khashoggi’s disappearance]" and will publicize all materials to the world after the investigation is concluded, Cavusoglu told reporters.

He also dismissed media reports that Turkey has shared audio recordings from Khashoggi's disappearance with US officials, saying Turkey did not give anyone or any country the recording.

"It is out of question for Turkey to give any kind of audio tape to [US Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo or any other US official," he added.

Turkey’s investigation into Khashoggi's murder has led the police forces to comb a forest near Istanbul and a farm house in the seaside city of Yalova to find the dissident’s remains.

According to a source inside the investigation, the movements of a suspicious black van belonging to the Saudi diplomatic mission led the Turkish police to the Belgrad forest and woodland in the Gazi neighborhood.
