Muslims in Istanbul performed a funeral prayer at Fatih Mosque for the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed at the Consulate General of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul on Tuesday (October 2).

AK Party Deputy Chairman Yasin Aktay, AK Party Istanbul deputy Ahmet Hamdi Çamlı, mayor of Sultangazi Cahit Altunay, the Turkish-Arab Media Association (TAM) President Turan Kışlakçı and a large number of Khashoggi's journalist friends from different countries of the world attended to the funeral prayer, which performed following the Friday prayer.

"We're looking for justice, not vengeance"

Speaking at the funeral rites, AK Party Deputy Chairman Yasin Aktay stated that the funeral prayer will be performed in many different countries for Khashoggi.

"It is unusual to perform funeral prayers when there's no funeral. We have demanded justice for Khashoggi since the day he disappeared. We have no animosity towards anyone. We just requested that the event be revealed in full detail," Aktay said.

Stating that the facts that have emerged so far reveal that Khashoggi was brutally murdered, Aktay said: "His body may have destroyed but his ideas spread throughout the world, and everyone asks the question, 'Why is this murder committed?' We are going to keep asking who the real killers are. We are looking for justice, not vengeance."

Also speaking at the funeral rites, AK Party Istanbul deputy Ahmet Hamdi Çamlı underlined that the thing happened is not Islamic not humanitarian.

"This is a shame for mankind"

Turan Kışlakçı, President of Turkish-Arab Media Association (TAM), said the following:

"Jamal Khashoggi was not a member of any group or organization. He was just a journalist."

"We are talking about a barbarity took place in the 21st century. We heard more than killing a person, we heard he was dismembered. We performed a funeral prayer but there is no funeral. This is a shame for all mankind." (Nizamettin Aşkın- ILKHA)
