Erdogan says US decision to halt Turkey visas ‘very saddening’

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expresses sadness over a decision by the US embassy to stop all regular visa services in Turkey, amid a boiling diplomatic row.

“Above all, this decision is very, very saddening. For the Ankara (US) embassy to take a decision like this, to put into practice is saddening,” Erdogan says in his first reaction to the decision, at a news conference with Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko in Kiev.
