    Turkey's Prime Minister says the country will not send back its
    ambassador to the US until its resolution branding the 1915-era
    killings of Armenians by Turkish forces as "genocide" remains open.

    Recep Tayyip Erdogan says the future attitude of the US is very
    important. Turkey recalled its ambassador to the US, Namik Tan, minutes
    after a US congressional panel approved a resolution concerning Turkey
    last Thursday.

    The resolution calls the incidents of 1915 "genocide". Turkey strongly
    rejects such allegations and regards the event as wartime civil strife
    which claimed the lives of both Turks and Armenians.

    Turkey and Armenia signed two protocols last October to normalize
    relations. However, neither country's parliament has passed them.
