MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, Karlov was killed by a gunman at an art gallery exhibition opening in Ankara. Three other people were also injured in the attack.
"We would like to offer our condolences. It is very sad. That may be a provocative attack to destroy the relations between Russia and Turkey, but we still need time to investigate," Gunal said.
Ankara and Moscow will set up a joint committee to investigate the murder of the Russian ambassador, according to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.
