New Delhi, Dec 20 (IBNS): India's Ministry of External Affairs, in a statement released on Tuesday, condemned the assassination of Russian Ambassador in Ankara.

The release stated -- India strongly condemns the tragic assassination of the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Turkey. We are deeply saddened and shocked by this dastardly act.
