All is forgiven? Saudi leader on first Turkey visit since Khashoggi murder

THE DEBATE © FRANCE 24

Saudi Arabia's Mohammed bin Salman is visiting Turkey, less than four years after dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi entered his consulate in Istanbul, never to reemerge. Does President Recep Tayyip Erdogan burying the hatchet with the Gulf oil giant have anything to do with Turkey's skyrocketing inflation and soaring energy costs? As for the crown prince, this trip is part of a broader return to grace, precipitated by Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and the scramble for alternatives to Russian oil.

Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Antonia Kerrigan and Guillaume Gougeon
