Russischer Botschafter in der Türkei ermordet

„A police officer crying ‚Aleppo‘ and ‚revenge‘ shot and killed Russia’s ambassador to Turkey Andrey Karlov during the opening of an art exhibition in Ankara Monday. The foreign ministry in Moscow confirmed that Karlov died of his wounds in the attack, which came amid roiling tensions over the fate of Syria. (…)

Karlov was several minutes into a speech at the embassy-sponsored exhibition in the capital, Ankara, when a man wearing a suit and tie shouted ‚Allahu Akbar‘ and fired at least eight shots, according to an AP photographer in the audience. (…)

Yelling in Turkish, the gunman shouted ‚Don’t forget Aleppo! Don’t forget Syria! He then yelled: ‚Stand back! Stand back! Only death will take me out of here. Anyone who has a role in this oppression will die one by one.‘“ (Times of Israel: „Russian ambassador to Turkey shot and killed by policeman“)
