President Vladimir Putin on Thursday bade farewell to Andrei Karlov at a packed memorial ceremony in Moscow for the diplomat who was assassinated in Turkey by an off-duty policeman shouting 'Allahu Akbar' and 'Don't forget Aleppo'.

Dozens of colleagues and relatives attended the ceremony for Karlov, the ambassador to Turkey whose death was labelled by Moscow as an act ofterror while President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the perpetrator was a member of Fethullah Gulen's group behind the aborted July coup.

Putin laid red roses at the foot of Karlov's coffin and spoke with his relatives but left the ceremony without making a statement.

Only God knows what he's thinking right now.

I wonder what he's thinking in the above image.

Political chess maybe?

RIP to the Ambassador.

Before anyone here comes over to start ranting about Russia's role in Aleppo (since many have opined that his assassination is in retaliation to the country's role in Aleppo), first think of what happened in Germany (who took in so many refugees) and why the Germans had to lose their lives to a fundamentalist despite the help the Germans tried providing to those with crisis in their countries/regions. Do they deserve what befell them?

Sure.

Russians are headliners. Go through their history and u will see that they will make Turkey pay for this, one way or the other.

International politics can change anytime
