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 Miles Bridges Hornets Jersey , 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 Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Hornets Jersey , temporary work or study, 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 Marvin Williams Hornets Jersey , at least in recent memory," said Soner Cagaptay, 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.

Puigdemont on Tuesday proposed to suspend the effects of the declaration of independence a few weeks in order to open a process of dialogue.
In his speech, Rajoy began by rejecting Puigdemont's offer for dialogue Larry Johnson Hornets Jersey , saying he needed to "offer citizens the clarity and security that citizens need."
He said it was in Puigdemont's hands to "return to normality... and I fervently hope he makes the right choice".
Rajoy cast doubts on the results of the Oct. 1 independence referendum, which has been declared illegal by the Spanish Constitutional Court, saying "nowhere in the world takes what happened on Oct. 1 seriously".
"When the democratic law is broken, democratic society suffers and slips into chaos," said the PM.
"Any government is obliged to defend the unity of the country Kemba Walker Hornets Jersey ," he said, highlighting that he had looked for agreements with the Socialist Party and center-right force Ciudadanos.
Rajoy also made an appeal to moderate Catalans and said he had always "been open" to dialogue, but that he could not accept the "unilateral imposition" of a "certain point of view", nor could he negotiate "about the indivisibility of Spain."
Anyone who wanted to mediate had to bear this in mind, he said Jeremy Lamb Hornets Jersey , insisting there was "no mediation possible between democratic law and disobedience, illegality."
"It is time to put an end to this with serenity, prudence and the aim of returning to coexistence," concluded Rajoy.
Rajoy had previously given a brief press conference from his official residence in the Palacio de la Moncloa, in which he had asked Puigdemont to clarify if he had declared Catalan independence on Tuesday evening.
Socialist leader Pedro Sanchez agreed with Rajoy that Puigdemont needed to explain the situation Glen Rice Hornets Jersey , but also made an appeal for Constitutional change.
"We have always said the best way to defend the constitution is to reform it. Some aspects of territorial coexistence must be updated", said Sanchez.
