Turkey 'ready to cooperate' if UN requests independent investigation

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu that Turkey has yet to share any information on the Khashoggi case with other countries, but is prepared to do so.

Speaking in Ankara, Cavusoglu said Turkey is "ready to cooperate" if the UN and other international bodies request an independent investigation into Khashoggi's death.

He added that it was important that Saudi Arabia acknowledged the killing of Khashoggi and that Turkey is more open to cooperation with the kingdom after a phone call last Friday between President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and King Salman.
