Today, on Thursday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu announced that important steps have been taken towards the normalization of relations between his country and Saudi Arabia.
In a television interview, Çavuşoğlu stated that his Saudi counterpart, Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, had previously announced that he was planning to visit Turkey, and that this visit was not planned yet due to the momentum in the political movement.
He stated that he met with Prince Faisal on the sidelines of the forty-eighth meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, on 22 March.
Davutoğlu’s statement came at a time when the Turkish Public Prosecutor’s Office requested that the case be stopped in the absence of 26 defendants in the murder case of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul and that the case be transferred to Saudi Arabia.
Khashoggi’s fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, said in a statement last February, urging the Turkish government to ensure justice in case of his assassination in 2018 and “not give in to the will to approach Riyadh”.
