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 of terror 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.
Karlov's widow Marina kissed his head as he lay in the coffin.
