Turkish minister in Saudi Arabia for talks

ANKARA: Turkey's foreign minister arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday for talks. Turkish officials had said Cavusoglu's visit could include talks on possible sales of Turkish drones to Saudi Arabia, which they said Riyadh had requested. The current violent clashes in Jerusalem may also overshadow the bilateral talks.

"In Saudi Arabia to discuss bilateral relations and important regional issues, especially the attacks at the Al Aqsa Mosque and the oppression against the Palestinian people," Cavusoglu wrote on Twitter upon his arrival in Saudi Arabia. More than 300 Palestinians were wounded on Monday, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.
