The request to kill Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi originated from "the most elevated amounts" of the Riyadh government, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday in a Washington Post opinion piece. 

"We realize that the culprits are among the 18 suspects confined in Saudi Arabia. We additionally realize that those people came to do their requests: Kill Khashoggi and leave. 

"At long last, we realize that the request to murder Khashoggi originated from the most abnormal amounts of the Saudi government," he composed. 

Erdogan included that he did "not accept for a second" that Saudi's King Salman had requested the hit on Khashoggi, who was killed at the kingdom's office in Istanbul on October 2.
