Turkey ‘seeking to repair’ ties with Saudi Arabia, says it ‘respects’ court decision regarding Khashoggi

ISTANBUL: Turkey is looking to repair relations with Saudi Arabia, Erdogan’s spokesman and adviser Ibrahim Kalin said Monday.

Trade between the two countries has dropped by 98% since last year, following an unofficial boycott of Turkish goods by businesses in the Kingdom in response to what they called hostility from Ankara.

Expressing hope the boycott could be lifted, Kalin said: “We will seek ways to repair the relationship with a more positive agenda with Saudi Arabia as well.”
