Not interested in Saudi regime change: Turkey

Turkey

is investigating a crime that could lead to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, but has no interest in interfering in Saudi internal affairs or trying to influence who becomes the next king, an official at Turkey’s presidential palace told Bloomberg.


If, however, the investigation into those responsible for the killing of Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi leads to the crown prince, then that’s problem, said the official, who asked not to be named. “Somebody must have given the orders and it’s not believable that a band of officials close to Prince Mohammed would have taken matters into their own hands,” he added. Saudis need to answer questions including about what happened to the body”.
