The street in Ankara where the Russian Embassy is located will be renamed in honor of Russian Ambassador Andrey Karlov, who was shot dead on Monday, said Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.
He made the remarks during a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow Dec. 20, APA’s Moscow correspondent reported.
Meanwhile, Moscow is to host a trilateral meeting on the Syrian crisis of the Russian, Turkish and Iranian foreign ministers on Dec. 20.
The Russian diplomat was fatally wounded by an armed gunman on Dec. 19 evening as he made a speech during the opening of a photo exhibition devoted to Russia in the Center for Contemporary Art in Turkey’s capital Ankara.
The attacker, identified as police officer Mert Altintas, was killed by local security forces shortly after.
