1978–1981: Appointed by President Jimmy Carter as U.S. Ambassador to Thailand, he served from August 9, 1978, to July 31, 1981. During this period, he played a pivotal role in addressing the Cambodian refugee crisis, persuading Thailand to accept refugees and coordinating U.S. relief efforts. His dynamic approach earned him praise as an “ambassador for the refugees.”  

1983–1985: Named U.S. Ambassador to the Mutual and Balanced Force Reduction Negotiations in Vienna by President Ronald Reagan.  

1985–1989: Reagan appointed him Director of the Bureau of Intelligence and Research (later Assistant Secretary of State for Intelligence and Research after a 1986 title change), a role he held from February 1, 1985, to May 19, 1989.

This office within the State Department is the key conduit between the CIA and State. [[Eleanor Lansing Dulles]] held this job while her brothers [[John Foster Dulles]] and [[Allen Dulles]] were Secretary of State and CIA director respectively.

1989–1991: Under President George H. W. Bush, he served as U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, retiring in 1991 with the rank of Career Ambassador, the highest honor for a Foreign Service officer. [[Fethullah Gulen]], who governs one of the world's most powerful Muslim Networks which was located in Turkey until it was found to be interfering and advocating the overthrow of the Turkish government. During the 1980's Gulen worked with the Turkish Gladio program, Grey Wolves, and the CIA overt operations against the Kurdish population. His primary contact for these activities was Abramowitz and this is prior to his being appointed as the Turkish ambassador, according to Paul Williams. 

In a 2008 Federal court ruling Gulen was identified as a person of extraordinary ability in the field of education who merited permanent residency status in the United States. This ruling is odd since Gulen lacked a high school education, spoke no English, and had never even written an article or book on the subject of education. Even weirder, was the appearance of US officials in court to testify on behalf of Gulen. They included, former CIA officials, Graham Fuller, and George Fidas, along with former US ambassador to Turkey, Morton Abramowitz and Marc Grossman.
