Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan could meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the sidelines of a G20 summit in Argentina next week, the Turkish presidential spokesman said Thursday. 
"We are looking at the programme," spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said in Ankara. "There could be a meeting between the two men," he said. 
Such a meeting would be the first face-to-face encounter between Erdogan and the crown prince since the death of Jamal Khashoggi. 
The two men previously spoke on the phone last month where they discussed joint efforts to shed light on what happened to Khashoggi. 
Saudi authorities have admitted responsibility and said 21 people had been taken into custody.
