"Consular building will be examined"
"Although consular premises are inviolable according to the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, the receiving state can conduct an examination in these premises with the consent of the head of the diplomatic mission," he added.
The Saudi authorities have notified that they are open to cooperation in this regard and that the examination can be conducted in their consular buildings in Istanbul.
"Within the framework of the investigation, an examination will be conducted in the said consular buildings," Aksoy said.
