Turkey on Monday was asking the US to reverse a decision to halt the issuing of all regular visas at American consulates in the country Cheap Soccer Hats , in a row that risks a major crisis.
Ankara hit back at the US move - sparked by the arrest of a US Istanbul consulate staffer - with a similar halt by Turkey's missions in the US.
Analysts warned the dispute risked becoming the most serious row between the two NATO allies in decades.
The Turkish foreign ministry summoned the US embassy's deputy chief of mission on Monday, urging Washington to reverse its decision to suspend all non-immigrant visa services.
Ministry officials told the diplomat the move was creating "unnecessary escalation and victimization," state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
The US embassy in Ankara said Sunday it would suspend issuing visas for tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work or study Cheap Soccer Hoodies , after the arrest last week.
Immigrant visa services are only for those seeking to live in the US permanently.
The US embassy said "recent events" forced the US government to reassess Turkey's "commitment" to the security of US mission services and personnel in the country.
Last week an Istanbul court remanded in custody the US consulate employee over accusations of links to US-based Muslim preacher Fethullah Gulen who Ankara blames for the 2016 failed coup. He has been charged with espionage and seeking to overthrow the Turkish government, accusations the embassy rejected as "wholly without merit."
Ankara countered Washington's visa move with further restrictive measures, stopping services applying to visas in passports as well as e-visas and visas acquired at the border and those issued at diplomatic facilities in the US.
The Turkish embassy in Washington issued two almost word-for-word copies of the American statement in English and Turkish, in an apparent attempt to mock the American counterpart.
"It's definitely a historic low in ties, at least in recent memory," said Soner Cagaptay Cheap Soccer Shirts , director of The Washington Institute's Turkish Research Program, adding that the last dispute like this was after the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus.
"Neither side is willing to step back," he said.
BEIJING, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- China is determined to put growth quality before pace, but that will not hold the economy back from growing faster than most of other countries in the coming decade, according to experts.
In a report delivered to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Cheap Soccer Jerseys , the country's leadership called it "a new historic juncture in China's development," as the economy has been transitioning from a phase of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development.
In the eyes of Chi Fulin, head of the China Institute for Reform and Development, that does not mean the growth rate will be mediocre.
