Turkish president lashes out at US stance on killing of journalist at kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has lashed out at the United States for not taking a tougher position against Saudi Arabia over the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, as he demanded answers from the kingdom over the journalist’s killing.

“I cannot understand America’s silence when such a horrific attack took place, and even after members of the CIA listened to the recordings we provided,” Erdogan said in an interview aired by state broadcaster TRT on Sunday.

“We want everything to be clarified because there is an atrocity, there is a murder,” he added, calling the killing “not an ordinary one.”
