ANKARA, April 2 (Xinhua) — Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
said on Friday he was returning Turkey’s ambassador to Washington after
he was recalled to protest a U.S. congressional committee resolution
labelling as "genocide" the killings of Armenians by Ottoman forces
during World War I, CNN Turk reported.

Erdogan also confirmed that he would travel to the United States to
attend the International Nuclear Security Summit in Washington on
April 12-13.

The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs on
March 4 adopted a resolution branding the killings of Armenians in
the late Ottoman Empire as genocide.
