Turkey’s ambassador to Washington was on Thursday heading back to the United States after a spat over the official inauguration of the new US embassy in the occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem).

State TRT television said Serdar Kilic had left Ankara to resume his post after an absence of over two weeks from Washington.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu meanwhile told the Hurriyet daily that Kilic would be back at work by the time he meets his US counterpart Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday.
