Turkey will follow up on the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the UN level and the international community, the Turkish Justice Minister Abdul Hamid Gul said.
In an interview with CNN on Sunday, the minister stressed that his country would not allow the cover of the crime, which took place inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, to be investigated.
"Our president is talking about this issue in all the political and diplomatic forums, and he talked about all the evidence and the facts, and he does so so as not to be covered up and not to be charged to anyone but the one who carried out."
A number of the most recent Turkish officials have spoken of the intention to refer the Khashoggi investigation to the United Nations, but Ankara has yet to announce specific formal measures in this regard and says its investigations are continuing.
Erdogan said that if the country did not pursue Khashoggi's case for ignoring the world, he said that thanks to Turkish efforts, the US Congress passed a certain person responsible for it, referring to the US Senate vote in favor of a decision to hold the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman responsible for the killing.
