Saudi Arabia denies report of Turkish ambassador’s expulsion

Saudi Arabia denied on Monday reports that the Kingdom had expelled the Turkish ambassador in relation to the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi, Arab News reported.

According Saudi Press Agency, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the “completely baseless” allegations had been circulating online.

The announcement comes after the Kingdom's Consulate General in Istanbul on Sunday strongly dismissed reports that Khashoggi had been killed within the consulate.

An official denounced the report by Reuters news agency, calling them “baseless allegations”, adding that he has doubts they came from Turkish officials “who are informed of the investigation or are authorized to comment on the issue.”
