    Erdogan said that he was still assessing whether or not he would pay
    a visit to the United States.

    Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday that
    he was still assessing whether or not he would pay a visit to the
    United States.

    Erdogan told reporters that he would announce his decision probably
    tomorrow.

    Erdogan said that he was discussing with his advisers whether or not
    to visit the U.S. (to attend the International Nuclear Security Summit
    in Washington D.C. on April 12 and 13).

    "If I decide to go to the U.S., I will send back our ambassador
    (Turkish Ambassador in Washington Namik Tan) immediately," added
    Erdogan.

    Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Burak Ozugergin also said that a
    date had not been set yet regarding the return of Turkish Ambassador
    Namik Tan to Washington.

    When asked who would represent Turkey in Nuclear Security Summit in
    the U.S., Ozugergin said that whether Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip
    Erdogan would go to the U.S. or not for the summit was not clear yet.

    The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted
    a resolution on Armenian allegations related to the incidents of
    1915 in a voting of 23-22 on March 4. Following this development,
    Turkish ambassador Namik Tan was summoned to Turkey.
