US and Turkey Suspend Most Visa Services

EPA / UPG

Turkey and the US have become embroiled in a consular row, mutually suspending most visa services, BBC reports. 

The Turkish embassy in Washington said it needed to "reassess" the US government's commitment to the security of the mission and personnel. A very similar statement was earlier made by the US embassy in Ankara.

This comes after a US consulate worker in Istanbul was held last week on suspicion of links to a cleric blamed for last year's failed coup in Turkey.

Washington condemned the move as baseless and damaging to bilateral relations.
