Ankara recalls its ambassador to the US for consultations
Ankara recalled its ambassador to the United States for consultations after the US House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs Committee in today's session endorsed a resolution calling for an official US recognition of mass killings and expulsions of Armenians during the last days of the Ottoman Empire as ``genocide.''
Turkey recalled its ambassador to Canada, the Foreign Ministry said Wednesday, after government ministers there reportedly took part in an event that labeled the Ottoman-era killings of Armenians as genocide.
