Sweden's Prime Minister on Wednesday welcomed the Turkish ambassador's
return to Stockholm after being recalled to Anakara over the Swedish
parliament's recognition of the Armenian genocide.
Fredrik Reinfeldt "welcomes that she is coming back to Sweden. It's
good that our diplomatic relations are maintained," the prime
minister's spokeswoman Roberta Alenius told AFP.
Ambassador Zergun Koruturk arrived in the Swedish capital Tuesday.
Before her departure, she told reporters in Anakara her return to
Sweden became possible after the Swedish government distanced itself
from the parliament's decision.
Koruturk was summoned back to Ankara on March 11 after the Swedish
parliament voted to recognise the Ottoman massacres of Armenians during
World War I as genocide, despite the government's advice not to do so.
