ANKARA – The Turkish ambassador to the United States, who was withdrawn
in a row over a US Congress bill condemning the mass killing of
Armenians decades ago, has returned to Washington, a report said
on Monday.

Turkey recalled its ambassador to Washington on October 11 in a
diplomatic row over a vote in the US Congress to label the massacre
of Armenians by the Ottoman Turks an act of genocide, Anatolia news
agency reported.

Ankara staunchly rejects the genocide tag for the 1915-17 mass killings
of Armenians and had threatened to cut off logistical support for
US-led war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
