The Russian and Turkish presidents say the assassination of Russia's ambassador to Turkey will not harm ties between the two countries.

"We share the same understanding with Mr. Putin that our expanding areas of cooperation with Russia, particularly on Syria, will not be hampered by this attack," Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in Istanbul after the two leaders spoke by phone late Monday, the French Press Agency reported.

The two countries' foreign ministers laid flowers Tuesday at the portrait of Ambassador Andrei Karlov in Moscow. He was shot and killed by an off-duty policeman Monday in an apparent protest against Russia's involvement in Syria.

Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the "Turkish people are mourning this loss as much as Russia and the people of Russia." Cavusoglu was in Moscow along with the foreign minister of Iran to discuss the Syrian crisis.

The three foreign ministers agreed to facilitate a deal between the Syrian government and the opposition, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said after their meeting.
