Two things Erdogan said we didn’t know:— Ragıp Soylu (@ragipsoylu) October 23, 2018
• Before #Khashoggi’s visit, a diplomat at the Consulate left Turkey and travelled to Saudi Arabia. (Sabah reported today that it was Abdullah Almuzaini, Saudi Station Chief in Istanbul)
• They removed the security system hard disk
- Erdoğan; “ We know very well who conducted these smear campaigns and character assassinations over social and traditional media during #Khashoggi investigation” He means MbS aide Al Qahtani?
- Erdogan: “Covering up this kind of violent murder would violate the humanity’s conscience” “Important that Saudis acknowledged the murder. We have strong signs that this was premeditated murder, not a spontaneous incident” #Khashoggi
- Erdogan asks questions on #Khashoggi: • Why opened up the Consulate days after the incident? • Why all these inconsistent statements? • Where is the body? • Who is, where is this local collaborator who took the body? Noone should expect we will bury it without answers
- BREAKING — Erdogan says #Khashoggi investigation cannot be buried by just blaming low level intel agents. “Everyone involved in this murder, from juniors to seniors, from bottom to the top must be brought to justice” Calls for an independent investigation
