Members of a Turkish forces honour guard carry the Russian flag-draped coffin of late Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrei Karlov and a picture of him during a ceremonial farewell with full state honours on the tarmac of Ankara's Esenboga Airport on December 20, 2016, before the coffin is transported on a Russian plane for Moscow. Veteran diplomat Andrei Karlov was shot nine times in the back by an off-duty Turkish policeman at the opening of an exhibition of Russian photography on December 19, 2016. The brazen killing stunned Ankara and Moscow, which have rowed repeatedly over the Syria conflict but in recent weeks have begun cooperating closely on the evacuations from war-wrecked Aleppo.
