Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is due to address a parliamentary committee on the apparent murder of Jamal Khashoggi, three weeks to the day since the journalist was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
The Turkish leader has promised to reveal the “naked truth” behind the case that has shocked the world and put Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s young rule under the microscope.
The Saudi leader, meanwhile, is due to address a major investment forum in Riyadh around the same time.
Turkey has been drip-feeding information from its Khashoggi investigation for the past three weeks, but has yet to officially declare anything on the record or present evidence so far, writes our correspondent Ece Goksedef from Istanbul.
The purpose of the leaks to both local and international media has been to attract global attention and pressure the Saudis – who eventually admitted they had killed Khashoggi last Friday.
Yet Turkey has continued to leak evidence following Saudi’s admission. The perception in Turkey is that the president and authorities are not happy with Saudi’s explanation of the events.
Now Erdogan will use his speech as a warning to Saudi and the US to be more transparent about what happened.
