Istanbul, 21 October: Turkish Ambassador to USA Nabi Sensoy, who
was recalled to Turkey "for consultations" after the approval of a
resolution on Armenian allegations in the US House foreign affairs
committee, departed on Sunday [21 October] to return to United States.

Prior to his flight to Washington D.C., Sensoy told reporters that
he would tell the US authorities about the outrage in Turkey caused
by the US House committee approval of the resolution on Armenian
allegations regarding the incidents of 1915.

Sensoy stayed 9 days in Ankara and had meetings with President Abdullah
Gul, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Parliament Speaker Koksal
Toptan, Foreign Minister Ali Babacan and other high-level officials
to inform them about the developments in the United States.

"I think my stay in Ankara has been a serious message to reflect our
outrage," Sensoy said.

"I will continue to work to further Turkish-US relations," he
continued. "It seems that wind has started to blow in favour of us."
