Yeni ABD elçisi Bass mı olacak?
Hürriyet 24 Nisan 2014
ABD’nin Ankara Büyükelçisi Frank Ricciardone, Türkiye’deki Cumhurbaşkanlığı seçimleri sonrası görevinden ayrılıyor. Eylül sonunda Atlantik Konseyi’nin başkan yardımcılığını üstlenecek Ricciardone’nin yerine atanacak muhtemel ismin, halen Dışişleri Bakanı John Kerry’nin özel kalem müdürlüğünü yürüten eski Tiflis Büyükelçisi John Bass olduğu söyleniyor.
YENİ BÜYÜKELÇİ JOHN BASS
Diplomatik kaynaklar, Ricciardone’nin yerine atanacak muhtemel ismin ise halen Dışişleri Bakanı John Kerry’nin özel kalem müdürlüğünü yürüten, ABD’nin eski Tiflis Büyükelçisi John Bass olduğunu aktardı. Üst düzey bir Amerikan Dışişleri yetkilisi, “Bass’ın Türkiye büyükelçiliği için bir sonraki aday olacağını teyit edebilirim” dedi. Bass’ın adaylığı henüz Beyaz Saray tarafından duyurulmadı. Bass’ın adaylığının daha sonra ABD Senatosu’ndan onay alması gerektiğinden, konu hassas sayılıyor. Türk-Amerikan ilişkileri gergin olması ve Ermeni Soykırımı iddialarının anıldığı 24 Nisan haftasına denk gelmesi nedeniyle, yeni büyükelçinin kim olacağı sorusuna Washington’da kimse yanıt vermek istemiyor. Ricciardone’nin Ankara Büyükelçiliği de uzun süre sürüncemede kalmıştı.
