Igor Sutyan: a piece of ham

In Ankara, the Ambassador of Russia to Turkey was shot by Andrei Karlov . A twenty -year -old officer of the Corps of Corps of diplomatic representatives of Mevlut Mert Altyntash sent nine bullets to his victim, shouting at the same time: "We die in Aleppo, you will die here!" Mevluta was also shot - on the spot, so that the Russian investigative brigade, which was already gathering to Turkey to study the circumstances of the crime, will study specially "for the death of the main suspect." The adult son and wife of the ambassador of Karlov was left alone, in honor of Karlov they would call the street in Ankara and, it seems, another street in Moscow. Tragedy.

Tragedy? How to say, because in the Kremlin, apparently, they can be satisfied. In the presidential palace in Ankara, too. No, for the sample, of course, sorrow is depicted, condolences are accepted. But from the point of view of political expediency, murder is the gift of heaven for the Kremlin, what for Ankara. Within reasonable limits, of course.

Russia has already appealed to the UN Security Council for condemning the murder - and received this condemnation, the unanimously adopted resolution says about the need to "attract performers, organizers and sponsors of the terrorist attack to justice." What did Altyntash say about Aleppo? Here is the Aleppo Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Defense of Russia and will declare the den that the terrorists who killed the ambassador will mean, and this will mean a sacred right and henceforth bombing Bashar al-Assad, who kill the Russian ambassadors. Everyone who will elevate a voice against barbaric airstrikes under such circumstances will be a branded, an enemy of the Andrei Karlov family and the mediator of the terrorists. And Russia will continue the bombing, overshadowed by the Holy right of revenge, and the fight against sponsors and organizers of the attack a little. Which, in fact, was required by the Kremlin.

The card goes to both playing sides: both Russia and Turkey

The fact that, as the Prochrevsky political scientists have already told us, “the customers of the murder are undoubtedly located in the Western Hemisphere” (in Polynesia? Or Venezuela?), Gives an additional opportunity to subtilize the electorate, which had been relaxed at the news on the abolition of the indexation of maternity capital. Ankara also does not remain in the loser. Already spoke about the fact that Mevlut Altyntash "participated in an attempt to a coup," and generally the figure of the enemy of the President of Turkey Fethullah Gulen is visible behind him - there is a great reason to tighten the nuts that suffocate any criticizing Erdogan, the audience. And everything is decent at the same time, and whoever will see in the muddy Bosphorus water, they are sponsors or not sponsors, those whom Erdogan will begin to plant intensely. Again, Donald Trump, until I figured it out, you can put the claim: give Gulen, he killed the Russian ambassador.

The map goes to both playing sides: both Russia and Turkey. Mourning, of course, are sorrowful faces for decency, but the joy of what happened in the circles involved in decision -to -make decisions is difficult to hide. The Germans have a saying: "From each swine you need to try to cut a piece of ham." After the shooting that happened on December 19 in an art gallery in Ankara, the Russian and Turkish authorities will cut the ham with thick pieces. And only to two families-Andrei Karlov and Mevlut Altyntash-is really bitter from what happened.
