Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan promised to reveal the "naked truth" about the events that led to the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi on Tuesday.
"I will make my statement on this topic Tuesday at the party group meeting," Erdogan said during a speech in Istanbul.
"We seek justice here and it will be revealed in all its naked truth, not by ordinary steps, but in all its naked truth".
On Saturday, Saudi Arabia confirmed the death of the 59-year-old Saudi dissident inside his consulate. They claimed that Khashoggi died after an escalation of "fist fights" and sacked 5 top officials and arrested 18 Saudis.
On Sunday, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir reiterated these claims and denied that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had knowledge of what had happened in the Istanbul consulate on 2 June. October.
Turkish officials are carrying out their own investigation and believe that Khashoggi was brutally murdered and dismembered, probably by a squad of 15 people charged with attacking him at the consulate. The video and audio evidence allegedly dating from the day of Khashoggi's disappearance would have confirmed these claims.
Erdogan has largely remained silent on the issue, although he has noted several inconsistencies in the version of the incident in Saudi Arabia.
"Why 15 people came … why 18 people were arrested … These things need to be told in detail," said Erdogan.
According to Al Jazeera, Erdogan's comments are the first time that a senior official has given the official date of the end of ongoing investigations, which has given rise to contradictory accounts from all sides.
The ruling AKP party, Erdogan, swore on Saturday to reveal the truth about what happened to Khashoggi in his last moments.
Omer Celik, a spokesman for the AKP Party, said Turkey did not accuse anyone in advance, but we accept nothing to stay covered.
Numan Kurtulmus, deputy leader of the AK party, said that Turkey "will not refrain from sharing with the world" its own evidence. He described the case as "ugly, frightening and inhumane" and promised not to "allow a hiding" of what actually happened.
The United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are continuing their investigations into Khashoggi's death before Trump or the US Senate decides on the opportunity to retaliate against Saudi Arabia.
On Monday, President Trump telephoned Erdogan and agreed that "all aspects" of the explanation of Jamal Khashoggi's death should be "clarified".
