Turkey is taking a back seat in the investigation of Jamal Khashoggi's murder, letting the United Nations delegation — headed by the special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, Agnes Callamard — take the lead.
Why it matters: The UN delegation arrived in Turkey on Monday. After meeting Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu in Ankara, Callamard and her team of legal and forensic experts headed straight to Istanbul, where they ran into their first roadblock. After meeting with Istanbul's chief public prosecutor for four hours, the delegation went to the consulate where Khashoggi was killed, only to be denied access by Saudi officials on Tuesday. They were able to scout the vicinity of the compound, however.
