Ankara: The United States on Tuesday closed its missions to Turkey for the day after a shooting incident overnight outside the American embassy in Ankara that followed the assassination of the Russian ambassador in the Turkish capital.


"An individual approached the US Embassy Ankara main gate and discharged a firearm," the embassy said in a statement, adding no-one was hurt and the individual was detained.

As a result, the embassy and consulates in Istanbul and Adana were closed for normal operations, it added.

The incident took place at 3:50 am (0050 GMT) Tuesday, hours after a Turkish policeman shot dead Russian ambassador Andrei Karlov as he was opening a photography exhibition.

The US embassy is located in Ankara directly on the other side of the street from the arts centre where the shooting took place in the Turkish capital.

The United States has repeatedly warned its citizens of security risks in Turkey after a string of attacks blamed on Kurdish militants and jihadists this year.

"The US Mission reminds US citizens to review personal security plans" and to "maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security," it said.

Turkish Marxist group claims US consulate attack in Istanbul | Zee News

An outlawed radical Turkish Marxist group on Monday claimed responsibility for a gun attack on the US consulate in Istanbul, the latest strike by the secretive organisation.

The Revolutionary People`s Liberation Front (DHKP-C) said on its website that one of its female militants carried out Monday`s attack, which left no reported casualties.

It named the attacker as Hatice Asik and said she was arrested and taken to hospital after being shot by police.

"The American consulate at Istinye was struck by people`s warrior Hatice Asik," the group said, labelling the United States as "chief enemy of people in the Middle East and in the world."

"Our struggle will continue until imperialism and its collaborators leave our country and every parcel of our homeland is cleared of US bases," it said.

The attack comes as Turkey opens its southeastern Incirlik air base to US fighter jets to carry out bombing raids against Islamic State (IS) targets in Syria.

Turkish authorities said Asik was captured wounded and another female militant was at large following the shooting.

Turkish media reported that Asik, 51, whose code name is "Hulya", was released on July 8 from an Istanbul prison pending trial.

She had been arrested for providing a house for two DHKP-C militants who attacked an Istanbul police station three years ago, the Hurriyet newspaper reported on its website.

She was facing life imprisonment on charges of "membership in an organisation" and "changing constitutional order", it added, and was next due in court on October 5.A Turkish official, speaking on condition of anonymity, meanwhile said the outlawed Kurdistan Workers` Party (PKK) was behind a suicide bombing and gun attack Monday on an Istanbul police station that left three militants and a top police official dead.

However, the attack was also claimed by a smaller leftist group, the People`s Defence Units (HSB), on its Twitter feed.

"Three of our freedom fighters were martyred in the suicide attack. A member of the occupying forces has been punished in the suicide attack," it said, vowing the attacks would continue.

Tensions are high in Turkey after it launched an offensive against Islamic State (IS) jihadists and Kurdish militants following a series of attacks inside Turkey.

Authorities have also arrested more than 1,300 suspects since last month in police raids nationwide targeting suspected PKK and IS members as well as the DHKP-C.

The DHKP-C, known until the mid-1990s as Devrimci Sol (Revolutionary Left), is a deeply secretive group which goes quiet for periods before re-emerging to stage attacks.

Mainly active in Istanbul, it seeks a Marxist revolution in Turkey among the working classes but also espouses a fiercely anti-Western and anti-NATO agenda.

It claimed the hostage-taking on March 31 of prosecutor Mehmet Selim Kiraz at his Istanbul office that ended with the killing of the captive and both hostage-takers during a police raid.

The DHKP-C is classified as a terrorist organisation by the United States and the European Union.

The group had claimed a 2013 suicide attack at the US embassy in Ankara that left a security agent dead.

DHKP-C isn't a militant group, it is a TERRORIST organization, that is sponsored and controlled by the EU (Italy, Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Greece, Bulgaria) who give these people citizenship, papers, support, arms, training in camps within Greece & Bulgaria, and ignore their INTERPOL red-bulletin arrest requests, the group also has indisputable ties to Iran & Syria (PYD/YPG - they've declared to organize common acts of terror against Turkey a year or so ago).

These people along with their PKK/PYD..... kurdish counterparts can happily go about their merry lives and take pictures in EU parliament, yet when any action is taken against them the EU begins calling 'human rights' to Turkey.



EU countries, give them safehaven, passports, training in camps, arms...

Who is this FETO very new name to me only heard of Kurds before

FETO

 

[blondeturkish]

I feel… embarassed.

The fact that a stupid police officer can kill a Russian ambassador and shout “Allahu Akbar” makes me feel embarrassed. This is not what I want my country to be.

Most importantly, what happened yesterday shows something that has been growing for years.

When the current government, AKP, was elected for the first time, the murderer Mevlüt Mert Altıntaş was eight years old. He grew up with this government. He was educated by this government.

A couple of months ago, Erdoğan said: “We will raise religious and spiteful generations.” When I heard about what happened, that came to my mind. Mevlüt is an example of that generation. He is religious and spiteful. That is what AKP wanted.

I am proud to not be a part of that generation, but many people my age are. And unfortunately, they will be the ones to rule Turkey.

Why all foreigners say "Gulen Movement" or "Gulenists"? In Turkey, nobody say "Gülen". We all say "Fethullahçı Terör Örgütü" which means "Fethullahist Terror Organisation".

Look! Even in wikipedia, this is written ; Gülenist Terror Organisation (Fetullahçı Terör Örgütü, FETÖ)

How can "Gülenist Terror Organisation" be a translation of "Fethullahçı Terör Örgütü" ???

All Western media and journalists use "Gülen" name, because Gülen is a Turkish word, and modern word. They dont want to use "Fethullah" word, because it would remind terrorists and Arabs for European citizens. West tries to show Fethullah as a "secular and modern" organisation meanwhile they are islamist, dogmatic, bloody terrorists just like Al-Qaeda or ISIS!

Chill down, Gülen is easier to write and pronounce for foreigners.

 

[OguzSenturk]

It wasn't a problem for Hezbollah Terror Organisation, Usame Bin-Laden etc. Dont be so naive, just check the anti-Turk journalits in west, they all are trying to show Fethullah ismalists as "secular calm cute children". Some of them are even trying to show them as "political opposition"

Even Turks have problems writing his name, i have seen Fethullah or Fetullah and even Fehtullah.

 

[OguzSenturk]

It has nothing with his name's writing style, but the purpose of showing him "modern/secular". There is a full blown propaganda going on in west in that issue. Burying heads under the sand wont change this.

 

[OguzSenturk]

Lots of blood flows just because this CIA backed retarded Islamist FETÖ terrorist.

DID GULEN ORDER THE HIT ON THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR?

The better question to ask is, “does it even matter?” Well, yes, in the sense that what matters is who’s leveling these accusations and why, not necessarily how provable they may or may not ultimately be. As of now, two of the most high-profile individuals in the Turkish state are suggesting that the American-based coup suspect and alleged terrorist backer Fethullah Gulen had something to do with the assassination of the Russian Ambassador to Turkey.

President Erdogan claimed the following:

“This man (Mevlut Mert Altintas) was a member of FETO and there’s no need to cover up this fact. The place where he grew up and his latest status are all but indicative of this. It should be said openly that members of that filthy organization can still be found in the ranks of our police and in the Armed Forces.”

His statements were backed up by Foreign Minister Cavusoglu, who purportedly told his American counterpart that Ankara and Moscow “were aware that the FETO (Fethullah Gulen Terrorist Organization) had been behind this attack.”

What’s important to pay attention to isn’t necessarily the veracity of these allegations, but the fact that they’re being voiced by the country’s most important politician and its top diplomat. This is the closest that a world leader can get to blaming the US for this terrorist attack without directly saying as much, which in a sense channels what the Russian suspicions have been all along.

One should remember that President Putin publicly voiced his belief that the Ambassador’s assassination was intended to derail the Tripartite talks that were to be held the next day in Moscow between Russia, Iran, and Turkey, strongly inferring that they were connected to whatever actor or set thereof which wanted to see this historic game-changing framework fail.

It’s not expected that any conclusive evidence one way or another will ever be publicly revealed which undoubtedly proves the assassin’s connections, if there even were any and he wasn’t a “lone wolf”, that is. Nevertheless, the fact that Erdogan and Cavusoglu are insisting that Gulen had something to do with this terrorist attack shouldn’t be dismissed as a self-interested domestic ploy to conveniently blame everything which goes wrong in the country on this shadowy figure.

Instead of being the predictable knee-jerk reaction which Turkey’s critics truly believe that it is, it’s much more important to pay attention to how this dramatically and unprecedentedly represents a nominal NATO “ally” openly accusing the US of sheltering an international terrorist who’s officially being blamed for complicity in the assassination of a Russian Ambassador in its capital city. Moreover, the Turkish government has shared these concerns with its Russian counterpart, which has ambiguously chosen not to comment on them yet in order to preserve an aura of diplomatic uncertainty which can keep the US on edge and guessing about what Moscow really thinks.

Coupled with the coordination between Russia and Turkey through the Tripartite format, Washington thus has reason to believe that Moscow and Ankara are closer than ever before in their history because of how their two Presidents are now working together to figure out who ordered the hit on the Ambassador, with Erdogan saying that it’s US-based Gulen and Putin cleverly choosing to entertain this theory by declining to deny it.

Analyzing this event from a larger angle, it’s vividly clear that Turkey is signaling that it’s completely fed up with the US and is decisively pivoting towards Eurasia, as was predicted by the author in the immediate aftermath of the failed pro-American coup attempt this summer.

Consequently, although the argument might appear to be a factually flimsy one so far, Turkey’s assertion that Gulen ordered the hit on the Russian Ambassador shouldn’t be met with mockery but with merriment by multipolar supporters because of how it powerfully represents Ankara’s rejection of Washington and its embrace of the emerging Multipolar World Order.

well the truth is US did it again

 

[maximuswarrior]

No doubt. The Americans and Europeans don't hide their rejection for the rapprochement between Russia and Turkey. It is also highly questionable why the US is providing refuge to a man who is accused by the Turkish government for plotting the coup and now the murder of the ambassador. The Americans aren't willing to hand over the suspect and that raises many questions. Why is this man so valuable to the Americans?
