WASHINGTON, December 22. /Offset. TASS Anatoly Bochinin/. The Russian Embassy in the United States, thanked Americans who showed solidarity in opposition to terrorism and expressed outrage at the article of the journalist of the newspaper the New York Daily News Gersh of Kuntzman, in which he compared the murder of the Russian Ambassador in Turkey Andrey Karlov with the death of a German diplomat in Paris in 1938.

“We would like to thank the Americans, who expressed the Embassy on 20 December, the outrage over the article, published in the New York Daily News, and solidarity in the rejection of any justification of terrorism. We appreciate that, despite the biased (against) Russia, the nature of the majority of materials in American media, there are people who can distinguish free speech from fabrications justifying the violence against Russian diplomats and thereby inciting hatred”, reads the statement by the press Secretary of the Russian Embassy of Nicholas Lihonina posted Wednesday on the Russian Embassy page in Facebook.

the Diplomat has reminded that earlier the armed coalition of “Jaish al-Fatah”, which includes extremist group “Dzhebhat Fatah al-sham” (formerly “dzhebhat an-Nusra”, banned in Russia), took responsibility for the death of Charles. “Any justification of terrorism is unacceptable. Comparing our country with Nazi Germany immoral and offends the memory of all who gave their lives for the salvation of the world from the Nazi plague”, – said Lahonin, Recalling that Russia and other peoples of the Soviet Union lost during the great Patriotic war, 27 million people.

“Only a distorted vision of the history and current realities might generate a similar parallel. I would like to hope that the editors do not share the view of Kunzman. From our point of view, in this case it’d be the wave appropriate, ” – said the press Secretary of the Embassy.

Official representative of the Russian foreign Ministry earlier on Wednesday said that the Russian foreign Ministry will send to the editor, New York Daily News the letter with the requirement to apologize for the article that contains the justification for the killing of the Ambassador of Russia to Turkey Andrei Karlov. “American journalist and writer Hersh Kuntzman on the pages of the New York Daily News wrote that he “sheds tears” on the Russian Ambassador, said Zakharova on his page in Facebook. – He also wrote that the events in Ankara reminded him of the murder of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath in Paris in 1938: a Jewish student shot dead a diplomat, of course, was “the innocent victim” in the eyes of many he was the epitome of “Nazi brutality, genocide, anti-Semitism and the looming global aggression.”

Kurtzman have already written a new article in which he stressed that he did not intend to apologize and to change their point of view.
