They want the body of Jamal Khashoggi to be returned so that he can be buried.

"Anyway, I hope it did not hurt him and that everything happened quickly," Abdullah Khashoggi told CNN.

It was Oct. 2 when Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was last seen when he entered Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul.

Saudi Arabia has acknowledged that the regime's critical journalist was murdered at the consulate, but its whereabouts are still unknown. According to Turkish investigators, a theory that his body was cut off was removed from the consulate in five suitcases and then dissolved in an acid, writes Turkish newspaper Hürriyet.

Now, Khashoggi's two sons, Salah and Abdullah Khashoggi, have been interviewed in the media for the first time since their father's death.

"It was appreciated by all"

They say that they want the body body to be restored so that it can be buried.

"All we want right now is to bury him at Al-Baqi cemetery in Medina with the rest of his family, I've talked to the Saudi authorities and I hope only that will happen soon, "Salah Khashoggi told CNN.

The sons say that their father was poorly manufactured for political reasons.

– Jamal was not an extreme person. He was appreciated by all. He had similar differences and values ​​like everyone else, says Salah Khashoggi.

– General opinions are important, but I'm afraid it's too politicized. People do analyzes that can move us away from the truth, he continues.

"It's a mystery"

Salah Khashoggi told CNN to follow the report on his father's death, even though he is also in contact with the Saudi authorities.

– Our source is the same source as you. It's a mystery. This is a heavy burden for all of us, everyone seeks information as we do it. People think we have the answers, but unfortunately we do not have them, "Salah Khashoggi said.

At the time of his death, Jamal Khashoggi lived in the United States, in voluntary exile. The brothers tell Jamal Khashoggi to move to Turkey to get closer to their children and grandchildren.

"The main reason he chose to move to Turkey is because he wanted to be close to the family, he had a special relationship with all his sisters, and we all had trouble hearing about this tragic news. "said Abdullah Khashoggi.
