An international expert leading an international investigation into Khashoggi's death in Turkey

UN spokeswoman Agnes Kalamard said she would travel to Turkey next week to lead an "international investigation" into the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at his consulate in Istanbul, amid Turkish mobilization to conduct an international investigation.

Kalamard told Reuters in Geneva that during the visit between January 28 and February 3, she would assess the actions taken by governments to respond to Khashoggi's death on October 2, and "the nature and extent of responsibility of states and individuals for murder" .

The UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Executions and Arbitrary Executions confirmed that she would convey the results of her investigations into Khashoggi's death to the UN Human Rights Council in June.

Simultaneously, UN human rights commissioner Michelle Bachelet told the island that she is calling for an independent investigation into the Khashoggi case and that the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights will set up a committee to look into the case.

In this context, the European Parliament expressed support for the establishment of an independent commission of inquiry into the killing of the Saudi journalist, led by the United Nations.

The head of the Commission on Human Rights in the European Parliament Antonio Panzeri of the island in commenting on Human Rights Watch's call for the formation of this committee, the European Parliament has already called for the formation of this committee to reveal the circumstances of the assassination and the determination of responsibilities.

Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed al-Jadaan said Saudi authorities were "very sad" about what happened to Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

He said in a session at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that his country would work to ensure justice in the trial of Khashoggi killers.

Turkish Recitation
All these developments coincided with Turkish statements confirming that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ordered preparations for the transfer of the case to an international level.

Foreign Minister Mouloud Gawishoglu, who said in an interview with Al-Khobar television, said it was time for an international investigation into Khashoggi's death.

The Turkish minister accused countries he did not name of trying to cover up Khashoggi's murder at the Saudi consulate.

Gawishğlu has announced that his country will take the necessary steps towards international investigation in the case of Khashoggi, stressing that Saudi Arabia has not participated in any information to Turkey so far.

The minister said in a speech on Monday at the Istanbul Municipality Youth Council that Ankara's strategy forced Saudi Arabia to recognize Khashoggi's murder at the Kingdom's consulate in Istanbul on October 2.

Late last year, Turkey informed the United States of the findings of Turkish prosecutors' investigations. Ankara has repeatedly asserted that the order was issued by the highest levels of the Saudi authorities and that the Saudi assassination team did not act on its own.

Saudi Arabia has also demanded the extradition of the suspects in Khashoggi's murder to be brought before Turkish courts.

The Turkish authorities repeated the request after Riyadh announced early this month the start of the trial of 11 accused, including five requested by the Saudi Public Prosecution to execute them, but the trial was challenged by the integrity of the countries and organizations.
