Director of Communications Prof. Fahrettin Altun touched upon the Saudi court’s verdict regarding the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi as follows: “To claim that a handful of intelligence operatives committed this murder is to mock the world’s intelligence — to say the least. Turkey will continue its efforts to shed light on this incident.”
Stating on his Twitter account that the court reached a scandalous verdict today after months of secret hearings on the assassination of Khashoggi, Altun said:
“Those who dispatched a death squad to Istanbul on a private jet, signed Khashoggi’s death warrant, disappeared the slain journalist’s body and sought to sweep this murder under the rug have been granted immunity. To claim that a handful of intelligence operatives committed this murder is to mock the world’s intelligence — to say the least. Turkey will continue its efforts to shed light on this incident.”
