The Russian ambassador to Turkey Andrei Karlov was shot dead yesterday during a speech at the opening of an art exhibition in Ankara.
The shooter, who has been identified by Turkish officials as a 22-year-old police officer, shouted “Don’t forget Aleppo, don’t forget Syria!” in Turkish as he pulled the trigger.
He fired at least eight shots, according to The Guardian, injuring at least three other people during the horrific attack.
The 22-year-old shooter was killed by other officers in a shootout.

Arabs on social media wanted to make one point clear: violence cannot be solved with violence. It’s as simple as that.
Nothing could ever “legitimize” the murder
We live in a “world with little accountability”
In a world w/ little accountability, specifically for the carnage in Syria, we’ll likely see more twisted attempts to force accountability!

“You can’t stop violence with violence”
Russia is interfering in Syria and killing innocents in haleb yes but you can’t stop violence with violence that’s just leading to war

It’s “counterproductive”
Such escalation is a crime, is counterproductive, is dangerous and does not in any way redress the pain of Syrians. https://t.co/smkIx9WjTf

Some have lost all hope that 2016 will end in peace
Donald Trump officially becoming president today, Ankara’s assassination, Berlin and now Zurich. 2016 is leaving with a bang. Literally.
