ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said he would not meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a visit to Argentina for the G20 summit, broadcaster A Haber reported on Thursday, after his spokesman said a meeting could happen.

Earlier on Thursday, the state-owned Anadolu news agency quoted presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin as saying, “We’re looking at the program. It could happen”, in response to a question about whether the two leaders would make contact at the summit.
