“Ambassador Karlov who worked in Turkey for a long time personally contributed to developing bilateral ties with Turkey.”
“This is a great loss not only for us, but for the whole world, because our ambassador focused his efforts on settling the Syrian crisis and bringing stability to the region,” Zakharova said.
