Reliable sources confirmed to Al Jazeera Net that the meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and American Donald Trump was positive on the issue of the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and other issues in the region.
Khashoggi's case took the bulk of the two leaders' meeting earlier on Saturday, on the sidelines of a dinner with heads of state gathered in Paris to mark the centennial of the Armistice Agreement that ended World War I.
The White House official said that the US president and his Turkish counterpart discussed the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, without giving further details, while the Turkish side did not provide any information. Of the meeting.
Earlier, the Al Jazeera correspondent reported that the Trump and Erdogan talks took place at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and took about 45 minutes.
Trump said on November 7 that he expected a "much stronger opinion" by this week on the response to Khashoggi's death, adding that he was working with Congress, Turkey and Saudi Arabia to determine who was responsible for the killings.
Khashoggi was strangled inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2, and Turkish sources confirmed that the body had been severed and then acidified.
The crime has provoked international outrage, but the major powers have yet to take concrete action against Saudi Arabia.
