Attacker identified

Accompanied by Health Minister Recep Akdağ and Defense Minister Fikri Işık, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu later announced that the attacker was a 22-year-old police officer identified as Mevlüt Mert Altıntaş.

Soylu said Altıntaş was born on June 24, 1994, in the Söke district of the western province of Aydın.

The minister also added that Altıntaş had been on duty for two-and-a half years at the riot police unit in Ankara and was a graduate of a police vocational school in İzmir.

Terrorists are so clever! They take revenge on people who had nothing to do with anything. Ambassadors don't make policy or have any part in carrying out policy. They are just messengers. \
"I'm mad at Russia so I'll kill every Russian I can" or "I'm mad at America so I'll kill every American I can" . That's REALLY smart!

It is really desperate. The western monolith is irrepaairaably cracked, in my estimation, which is fueled alternatively. Killing Americans can't hurt. The problem is more deeply entrencchjedc than that. It's not in a shallow end like that.


The problem rests entirely in accounting. I believe.

Motives behind the Assassination of Russian Ambassador to Turkey
(RINF) – In order to identify the likely motives of the 22 years old Turkish police officer who assassinated the Russian ambassador to Turkey, Andrey Karlov, we must keep in mind the backdrop that the Turkish and Iranian foreign ministers are en route to Russia to find a solution to the five years old Syrian conflict for the first time without the participation of the US.
Although the mainstream media is trumpeting that Mert Altintas, the assassin of the Russian ambassador, had shouted Islamist slogans in broken Arabic with a Turkish accent at the scene of the murder, therefore he must either be a member of the Islamic State or the Al Nusra Front; but from his clean-shaven face and black suit, he appeared more like an intelligence asset than an Islamic jihadist.

Russians complained of Muslims "terrorists" attacking a theater in Moscow and they complain of such terrorist acts. Yet, they fail to see that no Russian would have been attacked by a Muz if the Russkies themselves hadn't invaded the Trans Caucasian nations and killed hundreds of thousands in the past 200+ years.
