Turkey on Thursday asked its ambassador in Washington to return to
Turkey for consultations over a US congressional panel's decision to
approve a bill labeling the World War I-era killings of Armenians as
genocide, an official said.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Levent Bilman said ambassador Nabi Sensoy
would stay in Turkey a week or 10 days for discussions regarding
the vote, which came despite warnings by Turkish officials and US
President George W. Bush's administration that the bill could harm
US-Turkish relations.
