Turkey recalls ambassador for consultations over genocide bill
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
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.
