Turkey and Saudi the pot accusing the kettle

Khashoggi was arrested in the embassy before being tortured, killed and dismembered by about 15 Saudi operatives who arrived in Istanbul on a day flight from Riyadh and departed a few hours after Khashoggi's killing. It is hard to believe that the Turkish services, which have always played the double- and triple-crossing game, did not know what was happening. Khashoggi himself had probably received assurances that the Saudi embassy in Istanbul was a safe place to collect the documents. He was obviously betrayed by someone in whom he had strong trust.

Turkey is a strong ally of Qatar and plays a major role in the region. Relations between Riyadh and Ankara have not been the best in recent years, but their common interests in the region are so high that it is not surprising that Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization has closed more than one eye to allow Khashoggi's assassination and the exit of the 15 operatives.

Turkey, Saudi Arabia to enhance collaboration on Syrian crisis

"If Ankara, Riyadh and Doha would agree on the 'safe zone' idea that has been voiced by President Erdoğan, it would greatly benefit the people in the region, while also curbing Iran's expansionist policies."
