The body of slain Russian envoy Andrey Karlov is on its way back to Moscow from Turkey, a day after he was shot dead by an off-duty police officer in the Turkish capital.
The white, red and blue Russian flag was draped on the casket as a Russian Orthodox priest recited prayers in a ceremony at the Ankara airport on Tuesday.
Top ministers from the Turkish government also made spoke in memorial to Karlov.
Karlov was killed on Monday night, shot in the back by a 22-year-old off-duty policeman who shouted slogans associated with Islamic militancy as he launched the attack.
