Turkey has ordered its ambassador to the US to return to Ankara in
protest against a US Congress vote declaring the killings of Armenians
between 1915 and 1917 genocide.
A senior Turkish diplomat says ambassador Nabi Sensoy will return
to Turkey and stay in the country for about one week or 10 days for
consultations over the US genocide vote.
The United States has expressed hope for Sensoy’s quick return and
the full House votes to defeat this resolution. Meanwhile, Turkey’s
Prime Minister says he will "take steps" over the bill though he
wouldn’t confirm what action will be taken.
