The Australian comments Greg Norman about killing jamal khashoggi as a “mistake” was condemned by the bride of the late Washington Post columnist. The former world No. 1 in golf runs a series of Saudi -funded tournaments in England and has been criticized for his comments on Khashoggi’s tragic death on October 2, 2018 at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

“You see, we’ve all made mistakes and you just want to learn from those mistakes and how you’re going to correct them in the future,” the 67-year-old Norman said at an event to promote the tournaments on Wednesday. . The Australian stressed “the good the country is doing by changing its culture.”

Khashoggi, who wrote highly critical of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, entered the consulate to collect the necessary documents for the wedding. his Turkish fiancée Hatice Cengiz, and never to go out. Cengiz told the Telegraph newspaper on Thursday that Norman’s comments were “very hurtful.” “Would you say that if your loved one? How are we going to move forward if those who ordered the murder are still not being punished and are still trying to buy their legitimacy?” Statement by Cengiz. “We must not fall into their riches and lies, and lose our morality and common humanity. We must all assert truth and justice; only then can we hope with hope and dignity,” he continued.
