Turkey gave Khashoggi tapes to European nations\, Erdogan says

ROUGH CUT.

NO REPORTER NARRATION Turkey has given recordings related to the killing of Jamal Khashoggi to Germany, France and Britain, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday (November 10), seeking to maintain international pressure on Riyadh over the Saudi journalist's death.

Khashoggi, a critic of de facto Saudi ruler Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was killed in Saudi Arabia's Istanbul consulate last month in a hit which Erdogan says was ordered at the "highest levels" of the Saudi government.

His killing provoked global outrage but little concrete action by world powers against Saudi Arabia - the world's largest oil exporter and a supporter of Washington's plans to contain Iranian influence across the Middle East.
