The main aim of assassination of the Russian ambassador to Turkey Andrei Karlov is the desire to undermine the process of normalization of Russian-Turkish relations and to prevent effective fight of the two countries against terrorism in Syria, the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with NTV channel.
"We are confident that the main aim of those who plotted this barbaric thing was to undermine the process of normalization of relations between Russia and Turkey in order to prevent effective fight against terrorism in Syria," TASS cited Lavrov as saying.
Organizers of the assassination of Russian Ambassador to Ankara Andrei Karlov will not succeed in undermining the process of normalizing Russian-Turkich relations, Lavrov said in a commentary published on the Russian Foreign Ministry's official website.
