Do you remember Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi journalist who never left the consulate in Istanbul?
If not, it can be stated that Saudi Arabia has done an outstanding job of sweeping the entire deal under the rug.
A Saudi assassin patrol flew to Istanbul to silence an uncomfortable critic at the behest of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, according to a U.S. intelligence report.
When the news of Khashoggi's cruel fate spread around the world in November 2018, Turkey immediately took on the leader's shirt as the nation that wanted to go to the bottom of the assassination.
Saudi leaders were singled out
President Erdogan singled out Saudi Arabia's top leaders.
He repeatedly urged the outside world not to forget the assassination of Khashoggi, including during the G20 summit in Japan in 2019.
This led to hostile relations with Saudi Arabia.
Turkish goods were boycotted in the kingdom.
It was even called a Cold War.
So why is a Turkish court now deciding that the trial should be transferred to Saudi Arabia - and in practice closed?
Simply because Turkey is about to normalize relations with the regional power Saudi Arabia, say observers.
Because there are more and more signs of thaw between the regional rivals.
Saudi Arabia is easing the boycott of Turkish goods while Turkey withdraws interpol calls for the suspected killers.
According to media reports, President Erdogan is expected to visit Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh in the coming months.
But human rights organizations and Khashoggi's relatives are critical of the decision to close the trial.
"A frightening and obvious political decision," tweeted Milena Buyum of Amnesty International, who was present at the trial in Istanbul.
"Western hypocrisy"
After years of preaching about Western hypocrisy and inability to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, Turkey seems to be joining the ranks, writes Erol Önderoglu, Turkey's representative for Reporters Without Borders, in the Washington Post.
Fiancée Hatice Cengiz says she will appeal the decision and not give up the fight for justice for Jamal Khashoggi.
But in practice, the fight was over long ago.
The outside world is clearly unwilling to challenge the oil-rich kingdom and one of America's most important allies in the Middle East for the murder of a journalist.
