Turkey is cooperating with other countries in order to raise the issue of murder of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the United Nations' session, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Monday.

ANKARA (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 24th December, 2018) Turkey is cooperating with other countries in order to raise the issue of murder of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the United Nations' session, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Monday.

"Turkey is continuing its comprehensive investigation into the murder. We continue to work together with other countries to add this issue to an agenda of the United Nations, " Cavusoglu told the Turkish broadcaster NTV.

Ankara hopes that Riyadh will share the results of its own investigation into the murder of the opposition journalist with the global community, the foreign minister noted.

"They still have not told us where the journalist's body is. After all, those who killed and dismembered Khashoggi are in Saudi Arabia, as well as those who ordered to commit this crime. Therefore, those who can answer the questions of the prosecution are now in Saudi Arabia, " Cavusoglu added.

Khashoggi went missing after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on October 2. After weeks of denials, the Saudi authorities admitted that the US-based columnist had been killed and dismembered inside the diplomatic mission.
