If I say I am "ambassador of the UN", then it means I belong to the UN and act as an ambassador. If I say "ambassador to the UN", then the meaning indicates contact.

Mike franklin, here is an example : John Bass was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on September 17, 2014 as the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey.

Caner, you need to give more context for this kind of question. At least give a complete sentence, and possibly also a brief summary of who said it, why, etc.

An ambassador is a representative OF his own country. So, if I were an ambassador, I would be an ambassador OF the US - -TO say, Mexico.
