Copy LinkTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan heads to Saudi Arabia Thursday for a two-day visit aimed at easing old tensions between Ankara and Riyadh. The Turkish leader’s visit with the Saudi king comes after years of rivalry between their once-close countries. “President Erdogan has good relations with the king; with the crown prince Muhammad Bin Salman, we had serious difficulties,” said Ogutcu. The Turkish president led international condemnation over the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed inside Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul. The Turkish president has recently visited the United Arab Emirates and earlier this month hosted the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog.
