22.04.2015 U.S. Ambassador To Represent Washington At Gallipoli Commemoration

The U.S. Ambassador in Ankara, John R. Bass, will represent his country in the commemoration ceremonies for the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli, U.S. Embassy spokesperson Joe Wierichs told Hürriyet Daily News. The White House had previously announced Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew will lead a presidential delegation to Armenia on April 24, when the country will commemorate the anniversary of the killings. The U.S. ambassador to Armenia, Richard Mills, and four lawmakers will also be included in the delegation. Around twenty countries will be represented by their heads of state, while two parliament speakers, three vice presidents, five prime ministers and around 20 ministers will also attend the ceremonies. Turkey has rescheduled the international commemoration of the Gallipoli campaign to coincide with the date when Armenia traditionally commemorates the 1915 massacres of Ottoman Armenians, which it refers to as the Armenian genocide.
