    PRIME MINISTER OF TURKEY SURE THAT TURKISH-U.S. RELATIONS HAVE EASED

    ArmInfo. Turkey's Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on April 11 before
    flying to the United States that Turkish-U.S. relations had become
    less rigid, thanks to talks between executives after the Committee
    on Foreign Affairs of the U.S. House of Representatives adopted a
    resolution acknowledging the Armenian allegations on the incidents
    of 1915, Turkish mass media report.

    "Our relations are milder now after the U.S. Secretary of State
    called our Foreign Minister, and we have sent back our ambassador to
    Washington D.C.", Erdogan said. He also said Turkey was still backing
    its views expressed in a letter sent to former Armenian President
    Robert Kocharian in 2005. Turkey thought such issues could not be
    solved by parliaments, but they should be handled by historical
    committees, Erdogan said.

    To recall, Turkey had recalled its ambassador to the United States
    Namik Tan after the Foreign Relations Committee of the United
    States House of Representatives adopted a resolution on the Armenian
    Genocide. Tan returned to Washington D.C. on April 6.
