A killing of an Ambassador rarely starts wars. A lot of Ambassadors have been assassinated the modern age.

How did WW1 start?

"The simplest answer is that the immediate cause was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the archduke of Austria-Hungary. His death at the hands of Gavrilo Princip – a Serbian nationalist with ties to the secretive military group known as the Black Hand – propelled the major European military powers towards war."

This is the official story -- these war mongers want war, they're just always on the look out for a reason.

Franz Ferdinand was Archduke to Austro-Hungarian empire and a heir to the throne. Furthermore everyone was preparing for an on coming war, Austria-Hungary had already warned the Serb kingdom about other matters.

But I do believe their are those who want Turkey to be engaged in war.

Franz Ferdinand was the Archduke of AustroHungary, not some ambassador. And AstroHungary already wanted to go war with the Serbs, the assasination was only a "legitimate" reason, not the cause.

@Tramo too. The situation is not comparable. And Russia has already marked the death as a terrorist attack instead of a state-sponsored assasination.

Mark my words, if Russia and the US were best buds and they weren't busy with Syria -- this event would have kicked off a war.

Russia can't afford to make a big deal out of this right now but they don't like Turkey.

Erdogan is challenging Putin yet again. First he shot down a jet that violated Turkish airspace for a mere 17 seconds and now this.

Putin didn't do shit about the other one :pachah1:

The question is which terrorist group it'll be pinned on. The guy spoke Turkish, Arabic and Russian, entered the building with police ID and possibly knew the ambassador so I doubt he's some shaqo la'aan ISIS goon. Turkey is probably going to stick it on the PKK while Russia might use it as a reason to get boots on the ground.
