VLADIMIR Putin has promised to “step up” his fight against terrorists following this afternoon’s horrific attack in Ankara.
e said the assassination of his country’s ambassador to Turkey was “clearly a provocation” and vowed vowed to make those responsible “feel the heat”.
Mr Putin said this evening: “This murder is clearly a provocation aimed at undermining the improvement and normalisation of Russian-Turkish relations as well as undermining the peace process in Syria promoted by Russia, Turkey, Iran and other countries interested in solving this conflict in Syria.
"The only response we should offer to this murder is stepping up our fight against terror."

I at least hope Putin waits until he’s out of the white house to get “our” ISIS guy
The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Yes it would and one would be careful to romanticize a tyrannical brutal dictator thug as is Putin. Don’t get me wrong I hope he does the job HOWEVER many in this post seem to be taken by the cult of personality with both Putin and Trump and given up their principles which is so easy to do in a populist movement.
Let’s not forget Putin himself as assisinates political opponents and journalists. But hey the ends justify the means eh? Because it’s so en vogue and chic to support the populist majority
To Palestine the Bear must go.
This man is going change some hearts and minds the old fashioned way,at least Putin gets it.
He is going to have serious competition real soon. So far, he has had a free ride.
Russia has a long history with Iran. And the Communist/socialist element existed in Iran prior to the Russian revolution of 1918 and had ties to Lenin himself.
ICP, Iranian Communist Party’s fortunes ebbed and flowed during various periods, subjected to suppression by Reza Shah, it changed names and went to ground for a period. Allied with the Axis Powers in WWII, Iran was occupied in 1941 by the Allied Forces, Russia in the north and GB in the south. Post war restoration of Shah’s son again saw increased revolutionary activity by the ICP which at some point became the Tudeh Party, with the second Shah taking strong suppressive action against them.
All of the above is merely a capsule history of Russian and Soviet involvement in Iran. The communist party never surfaces in daylight without the secret cadres remaining ‘dark’. So my best guess is that Putin and the FSB/KGB still have access to the old diehard networks and have better intelligence on the ground than any of the western powers. Certain to have a more realistic awareness than the outgoing Golfer and his minions. Be interesting to see the old KGB files on the Golfer and Valerie Jarrett.
You're right. That's why the only good Muslim is a "bad" Muslim.
He will eviscerate the first captives as an example.
Aren’t you being a little harsh on Obama? I mean, surely, he is planning his response to obliterate ISIS too, for murdering our ambassador, right? He has a few weeks left...
Wait until ISIS gets a load of Russian cluster munitions and fuel-air bombs.
The Spetsnaz have to be about the most fearsome group on the planet.ISIS is in for some very bad days.
YEP ISIS has poked the WRONG bear!!! Putin has NO rules of engagement GO GET UM RUSKIES!!!!
Spetsnaz has ONE rule of engagement,find the enemy and kill them.Kill them all.
Turkey will say, “The Kurds did it.”
Well, if Russia eliminates ISIS, it will save us lives and money. Maybe we can find it in our hearts to thank them for doing the job.
