    Turkey's Ambassador to the US: I return to Ankara today


    Turkey's Ambassador to the US Namik Tan said he is due to return to
    Turkey at a press conference after the Foreign Relations Committee of
    the US House of Representatives passed the Armenian Genocide
    Resolution March 4, CnnTurk reported.

    `Unfortunately, in accordance with the decision taken by our
    government, I am compelled to return to Turkey. I say unfortunately,
    because I had just started my mission and return sounds somehow odd. I
    will return to Turkey and will get instructions from my government;
    further events will show when and how I will come to Washington,'
    Turkey's Ambassador said. He said they are upset for their loss
    suffered.

    Panorama.am recalls that Turkey has traditionally rejected the mass
    killings of 1,5 million Armenians carried out early in the 20th
    century and always took the criticism of the West painfully. The
    Armenian Genocide has been recognized by lots of states. It was first
    recognized by Uruguay in 1965. Later Russia, France, Italy, the
    Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Sweden,
    Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus, Lebanon, Canada, Venezuela, Argentina and
    the US 42 states did the same. The Armenian Genocide has been
    recognized also by Vatican, the Council of Europe, the World Council
    of Churches.
