    Turkish minister welcomes "recent messages from USA"


    Ankara, 1 April: Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on
    Thursday [1 April] that the recent messages from the USA were
    eliminating the concerns and meeting the expectations of Turkey.

    On 4 March the US House of Representatives committee on foreign
    affairs adopted a resolution on Armenian allegations related to the
    incidents of 1915 in a voting of 23-22. Following this development,
    the Turkish ambassador in Washington, Namik Tan, was summoned to
    Turkey.

    Davutoglu told reporters that they had not set a date yet regarding
    the return of Tan to USA.

    Noting that he conveyed Turkey's views, expectations and concerns to
    US State Secretary Hillary Clinton on the phone, Davutoglu said that
    Clinton, in return, expressed the importance they attached to Turkish
    Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan's participation in International Nuclear
    Security Summit which would be held in Washington, DC, on 12 and 13
    April.

    Clinton told me that the USA was aware of the strategic dimension of
    the relations between Turkey and the USA, added Davutoglu.

    Earlier in the day, Erdogan said that he was still assessing whether
    or not he would pay a visit to the United States. Noting that he would
    announce his decision probably tomorrow, Erdogan said, "If I decide to
    go to the USA, I will send back our Ambassador Tan immediately."
