Turkey turns over Khashoggi recordings to 5 nations

ISTANBUL �� Turkey gave voice recordings related to the killing of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi to the United States and four other nations, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

The recordings were also given to Saudi Arabia, the U.K., Germany and France, Erdogan said Saturday in Ankara, the Turkish capital.

"All these countries heard the recordings and know about them," Erdogan said. He also said that 18 people arrested in connection with the murder know "the killers of Khashoggi very well."

Khashoggi, a critic of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's policies, was killed Oct. 2 at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Turkish police haven't been able to find his remains.

Erdogan this month accused members of the Saudi government of ordering the killing.

Erdogan spoke before leaving for Paris to attend observances on Armistice Day, which marks the end of World War I. He's expected to meet U.S. President Donald Trump during the trip.
