MAKKAH: Turkey´s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was notably absent from a key summit of the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in the Saudi holy city of Mecca on Friday, an AFP photographer said.
Turkey, a regional heavyweight, was instead represented by its Foreign Minister Mouloud Zhaoshoglu.
Erdogan´s visit would have been his first to the kingdom since the brutal murder last October of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
