  • Turkey Sends Ambassador Back To Washington

    TURKEY SENDS AMBASSADOR BACK TO WASHINGTON

    Radio Netherlands
    April 2 2010

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his government has
    decided to send its ambassador to the United States back to Washington.

    The diplomat was recalled nearly a month ago after a commission of the
    US House of Representatives urged President Barack Obama to condemn
    as genocide the mass killings of Armenians between 1915 and 1923.

    Turkey has consistently refused to use the term genocide and strongly
    condemned the House commission's recommendation to the president.

    However, tensions appear to have subsided, and the Turkish prime
    minister announced on Friday he would accept a US invitation to attend
    a summit on nuclear arms reduction scheduled to be held in Washington
    in two weeks.
