India strongly condemns the assassination of the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Turkey: MEA

Karlov was shot dead by a Turkish gunman at an art exhibition in Ankara last evening.

“We offer our condolences to the family of Ambassador Andrey Karlov and share their pain and grief. There can never be any justification for violence and terrorism,” the MEA said in a statement.

The gunman shouted “God is great!” and “don’t forget Aleppo, don’t forget Syria”, after killing the envoy.
