US hopes Turkey quickly returns ambassador to Washington
The White House said Thursday it hoped Turkey would quickly return
its ambassador to Washington who was recalled after a US Congress
panel voted to label the massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks an
act of genocide.
"We look forward to his quick return and will continue to work to
maintain strong US-Turkish relations," said Gordon Johndroe, a White
House national security council spokesman.
"We remain opposed to House Resolution 106 because of the grave harm
it could bring to the national security of the United States."
