FILE - In this Monday, Dec. 19, 2016 file photo, Andrei Karlov, then Russian Ambassador to Turkey, pauses during a speech at a photo exhibition in Ankara, moments before Mevlut Mert Altintas, background left, opened fire on him and killed him. Altintas was killed by police shortly afterwards. A Turkish Court on Tuesday, March 9, 2021 sentenced five people to life prison terms over the assassination of Karlov. Turkish prosecutors concluded that a network led by U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen was behind Karlov's slaying and charged 28 people, including Gulen, over the killing.
