Turkey says won’t allow envoy killing to ‘cast shadow’ on Russia ties
Turkey says it won’t allow the assassination of the Russian ambassador to Ankara to damage relations with Moscow, describing the killing as a “terror attack” on bilateral relations.
“We will not allow this attack to cast a shadow on Turkey-Russia relations,” says the Turkish foreign ministry in a statement. Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said the killing of Andrey Karlov was “a terror attack on relations between Russia and Turkey.”
