Turkey said on Friday that it was returning its ambassador to
Washington, a month after he was recalled to protest a U.S.
congressional committee labeling as genocide the World War One
massacres of Armenians in Turkey.
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan also confirmed that he would attend
an international nuclear summit hosted by President Barack Obama in
Washington on April 12-13, the Reuters reports.
The U.S. House of Representatives committee had approved a non-binding
resolution on March 4 calling on President Obama to refer to the
killings of as many as 1.5 million Armenian Christians as genocide,
prompting Turkey to immediately withdraw its envoy.
