    Turkish warrant for another worker at US consulate

    Relations between the United States and Turkey continue to deteriorate. The US has stopped issuing visas to Turkish citizens following the arrest last week of a local employee at the embassy in Ankara of suspicion of association with exiled cleric Muhammed Fethullah Gülen - who lives in the US - accused by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of being behind last year's failed coup.

    Turkey responded with a similar move - and in the afternoon issued an arrest warrant for another American worker for an unknown reason, according to Reuters.
