Assassination Threatens Russia- Turkey Thaw

摘要

The shock assassination of Russia's ambassador to Ankara, Andrei Karlov, has put Russia-Turkey relations and joint energy projects in doubt again just months after a sudden rapprochement. Karlov was shot dead by a gunman -- said to be a member of the Turkish riot police -- at a photo exhibition in the Turkish capital on Monday. The mayor of Ankara, Melih Gokcek, was quoted as saying that the assassination was an attempt to ruin relations with Moscow.
