Turkey’s ambassador to the United States headed back to his post
Tuesday, a month after he was recalled when a House panel voted a
bill calling the World War I massacres of Armenians as genocide,
the Hurriyet Daily News reports.
"The message we wanted to give has been understood… and we are
satisfied," Ambassador Namık Tan said at the airport. "It is time
for me to go back."
Last week, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan hailed "positive
developments" in efforts to end the spat and said he himself would
go to Washington to attend a nuclear security summit on April 12-13.
Ankara recalled Tan on March 4 after the House of Representatives’
Foreign Affairs Committee adopted a resolution calling on President
Barack Obama to ensure that U.S. foreign policy reflects an
understanding of the "genocide."
