Turkey is determined to increase the pressure on Saudi Arabia over the killing of dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, even if hopes for justice, in this case, remain elusive.

Continuing calls by the United Nations, the US Congress, the European Parliament and international human rights watchdog groups on Riyadh to come clean over this murder are, nevertheless, encouraging for Ankara.
