Turkey urges public to ignore Khashoggi case \u2018leaks\u2019 as Putin awaits investigation outcome<\/h2>\n
\n

\nLONDON: Turkey called on the public to ignore any leaked\u00a0 information\u00a0in the case of missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, Al-Arabiya English reported Thursday.
Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul also said that the case of Jamal Khashoggi is being \u201cthoroughly\u201d investigated and \u201cresults are expected to come out soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe call came after a flurry of leaks to Turkish and Western media claiming to say what happened to the Saudi journalist.<\/p>\n

\nVladimir Putin added his voice on\u00a0Thursday to international calls not to rush to conclusions. The Russian president said his country\u00a0would wait for the outcome of the investigation before deciding what impact it may have on Russia’s relations with Saudi Arabia.
“Those who believe that there was a murder must present evidence,” the russian president said. “The disappearance was a tragedy, but we need to understand what happened.”
Khashoggi, a Saudi citizen who lived in the US, disappeared on Oct. 2 after visiting the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul to complete paperwork related to his divorce. Saudi Arabia and Turkey have set up a joint team to investigate the disappearance.<\/p>\n

\nOn Thursday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Saudi Arabia had\u00a0assured him “they will conduct a complete, thorough investigation of all the facts.”<\/p>\n

\nPompeo, who had just reported to President Donald Trump after traveling to Saudi Arabia and Turkey, told journalists\u00a0that the United States would give the Kingdom “a few more days” to work on the investigation.
Trump had said he would not make any decisions about the case until\u00a0Pompeo reported back from his talks in Riyadh and Ankara earlier this week.
“I told President Trump this morning we ought to give them a few more days to complete that so that we, too, have a complete understanding of the facts surrounding that, at which point we can make decisions how or if the United States should respond to the incident surrounding Mr Khashoggi,” Pompeo said.
He restated the importance of Saudi Arabia as a partner to the United States and it position in the region.
Saudi Arabia\u2019s ambassador to the US, Prince Khalid bin Salman, previously addressed the \u201cmalicious leaks and grim rumors flying around about Jamal\u2019s whereabouts and fate\u201d last week. Prince Khalid said rumors that the \u201cKingdom\u2019s authorities have detained\u201d Khashoggi or \u201ckilled him are absolutely false, and baseless.\u201d
Donald Trump criticized on Tuesday the rapidly mounting global condemnation of Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi, and warned against a rush to judge. \u201cI think we have to find out what happened first,\u201d he said.
After a telephone conversation with King Salman on Monday in which the US president\u00a0discussed the joint investigation by the Kingdom and Turkey into Khashoggi\u2019s disappearance, Trump said that the Saudi journalist may have been killed by \u201crogue killers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
