В Анкаре застрелян посол России

В столице Турции на выставке фотографий совершено покушение на посла России Андрея Карлова.

В Карлова выстрелили из пистолета, в момент когда он выступал на выставке фотографий в турецкой столице, говорится в сообщении посольства, и добавляется, что они считают, что это нападение совершенно исламистами.

CNN Turk сообщает, что Карлов находился в критическом состоянии.

СМИ сообщают, что трое раненных были доставлены в больницу Güven в центре Анкары, но не сообщают был ли среди них посол.

Нападение произошло за день до визита министра иностранных дел Турции Мевлюта Чавушоглу в Москву, где запланированы переговоры по Сирии с его российским и иранским коллегами.

Телекомпания CNN Turk сообщает, что нападавший все еще может находиться внутри здания, и, что Карлов пока еще не доставлен в больницу.

Репортер Haşim Kılıç из Hürriyet, который был на месте во время нападения, сообщает, что гости выставки стали убегать после того, как злоумышленник сперва выстрелил в воздух. Затем нападавший нацелился на Карлова, сообщает репортер.

Он также сообщает, что нападавший выкрикивал исламистские лозунги.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States. Relations between China and Russia have deepened in recent years, particularly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
