PENCE STATEMENT ON RECALL OF TURKISH AMBASSADOR TO U.S
Washington, Oct 11 -
WASHINGTON, DC—U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, ranking member of the Middle East Subcommittee, released the following statement today in reaction to news that Turkey has recalled its ambassador to the United States:
“The news that Turkey has ordered its ambassador in Washington to return for consultations is an ominous but predictable result of yesterday's vote in the Committee on Foreign Affairs and could foreshadow more serious diplomatic consequences to come. By placing the demands of history over the importance of our alliance with Turkey, the Democrat leadership in Congress may be endangering our ability to provide our troops with the resources they need in Iraq. Congress should foreclose any further consideration of this resolution while American forces are in harm’s way."
