Research Analyst, IDSA, Ms Nagapushpa Devendra’s article on the row between Turkey and Saudi Arabia over the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, titled ‘The Turkey-Saudi Dispute over Khashoggi’s Disappearance’ was published in Globe Post, Turkey, on October 17, 2018.
If Khashoggi was indeed murdered by Saudi Arabia, it will be a sign that Prince Salman’s media crackdown is reaching a new level of apprehending critics at home, as well as abroad. Given that they have nabbed him in Turkey, the issue will go beyond just a missing writer, argues Ms Devendra.
