Turkey said on Friday that it was returning its ambassador
to Washington, a month after he was recalled to protest a US
congressional committee labelling as "genocide" the World War One
killings of Anatolian Armenians.
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 US House of Representatives committee had approved a non-binding
resolution on March 4 calling on President Obama to refer to the
killings of Armenians as "genocide," prompting Turkey to immediately
withdraw its envoy.
