Russia's ambassador to Turkey was assassinated at an Ankara art exhibit by a lone Turkish gunman. There was no immediate confirmation about the gunman's motives or possible affiliations but several groups in the region feel powerful animosity toward Russia, Turkey and a host of other countries.
In neighboring Syria and throughout the Muslim world, people are outraged at Russia for helping the Syrian Government's attack on Aleppo.
Another enemy of both Russia and Turkey is ISIS. The two countries have cooperated in fits and starts over the last year against the cult-like terror group, which controls whole swaths of Syria. ISIS has carried out a wave of murderous bombings in Turkey this year.
Turkey also has fought a long-running, low-level domestic war against elements of its Kurdish population, which lives primarily in Turkey's east.
Turkey's President was at first enraged with Russia when it entered the war, and Turkey shot down a Russian warplane over its airspace in June.
But he made a turnaround with Russia almost immediately after the coup attempt. On the night of the coup, Russia tipped off Erdogan about unusual movements among Turkish military units potentially saving the Turkish president's life.
More to this story..... All are involved, all are responsible for what happened in Syria. All to be blamed for the death of many.... I mean all. Just a thought.
