    TURKISH ENVOY TO RETURN TO US NEXT WEEK, ERDOGAN SAYS

    Hurriyet
    April 2 2010
    Turkey

    Turkey's ambassador will return to the United States next week,
    a month after a row over a U.S. House panel vote branding the World
    War I massacres of Armenians as genocide, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
    Erdogan said Friday.

    "I will send the ambassador to the United States next week," Erdogan
    told reporters.

    Stressing "positive developments" in efforts to end the spat with
    Washington, Erdogan said he himself would also travel to the U.S.

    capital to attend a nuclear security summit on April 12-13.

    Ankara recalled Ambassador Namık Tan on March 4 immediately after
    the House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs Committee adopted a
    resolution branding the 1915-17 massacres of Armenians under the
    Ottoman Empire as "genocide."
