Assassination of Russian Ambassador Andrey Karlov in Ankara is directed against the Turkey-Russia relations, Turkish Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci told reporters in Baku Dec. 21.

“Those who are behind this will never achieve their goal. The Turkey-Russia relations will develop,” the minister said.

Andrey Karlov died after being fatally wounded in an armed assault in an art gallery in Ankara late Dec. 19. Three other people were injured in the attack.

The killer, Mevlut Mert Altintas, was eliminated.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called the incident an act of terrorism.
