Recep Tayyip Erdogan Ankara will not send its ambassador back to
the USA until it has received reassurances over a resolution backing
Armenian claims of genocide.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the government would
not send its ambassador back to Washington until it got a ‘clear
signal’ on the fate of the resolution, broadcaster NTV reported
on Tuesday.

Turkey withdrew its ambassador after the US House of Representatives
Foreign Affairs Committee passed a resolution recognizing the killing
of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire as ‘genocide’.
