Turkey’s Ambassador to Sweden Returns to Stockholm Tomorrow

On March 30, Turkey’s ambassador to Sweden Zergun Korutürk will return to Stockholm and assume her ambassadorial responsibilities, reports Turkish news agency Ankara.

Earlier this month, she was recalled after Sweden's parliament on March 11 narrowly approved a resolution recognizing the World War-I era killings of Armenians as genocide.

Earlier this week, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu told CNNTurk TV that Ankara was “satisfied” by Stockholm’s statements opposing the riksdag's move.

“Under these circumstances, Sweden cannot be compared to United States. After the adoption of that resolution the Swedish authorities clearly showed that they are against that bill and later made a statements which was completely satisfactory,” Davutoğlu had said.

As for the return of Turkey’s ambassador to the US, Namik Tan, Davutoğlu had said the issue is being discussed.
