Ankara, Dec 19 (UNI/Sputnik) The organisers of the assassination of Andrei Karlov, Russian Ambassador to Turkey, have failed to ruin the friendship between the two countries, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told Sputnik.
"Five years have passed since the death of Ambassador Andrei Karlov as a result of a treacherous assassination. The attack on Ambassador Karlov was an attack on Turkish-Russian friendship. However, Turkey and Russia did not fall into this trap, so those who wanted to harm the Turkish-Russian friendship were disappointed," Cavusoglu said.
The Turkish FM emphasised that the assassination was a terrorist act and expressed solidarity with Russia.
