Erdogan places the blame for all current acts of terror at the feet of Gülen or Gülenists. Kind of refreshing as before the coup Erdogan had to perform Olympic level gymnastics to place blame for all acts of terror at the feet of the Kurds. Nothing Erdogan or the Turkish Government says can be trusted.

Russia has learned a very hard lesson about protecting their diplomats abroad. Israel did with the attempted assassination of Shlomo Argov by the Abu Nidal Orginization in London 1982. That attempt led to the Israeli invasion of Southern Lebanon. Hopefully cooler heads prevail here.
