Moscow-Sana
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that Moscow expects the Turkish regime to provide it with information about the direct agents and organizers of the terrorist attack that caused the death of the Russian ambassador to Turkey, Andrei Karlov.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement regarding the ruling issued by the Turkish court in this case, "We look forward to continuing close cooperation between the Russian and Turkish investigation bodies and to obtain promptly comprehensive information from Ankara on the results and conclusions of the trial and the direct clients and organizers of this terrorist attack."
The statement added that Moscow is still proceeding from the assumption that “a large part of the responsibility for this crime” is borne by certain circles that, on the eve of the attempted assassination of Karlov, artificially created a negative atmosphere in the media and social networks about Russia's activity in Syria.
The statement pointed out that "the Russian Foreign Ministry closely followed the course of the trial in Ankara, which took place recently over the tragic assassination of the ambassador, which left a heavy imprint on the history of modern Russian-Turkish relations."
An extremist terrorist named Mouloud Al-Tantash, working in the ranks of the Turkish regime's police, assassinated Karlov on December 19, 2016, by shooting him while he was delivering a speech at the opening of an art gallery in Ankara. The assassination was widely condemned.
