This E-Note contemplates the December 2016 assassination of the Russian Ambassador to Turkey, with a particular emphasis on the event’s underlying implications for Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s troubled regime. The assassination, for example, points to 1) an alarming decline in the discipline of Turkey’s security services; 2) the simmering sectarian and nationalist anger inside Turkey; and 3) the fissures inside Erdoğan’s own coalition.
