UNB, Dhaka :
Amid confusion in the wake of media reports, Turkish Embassy in Dhaka has said the Embassy here is open and fully operational.
“Due to the published news that’s not based on the factual information in the media, we feel obliged to clarify that Turkish Embassy in Dhaka is open and fully operational,” the Embassy said in a statement on Thursday.
It said they continue to issue visas through online visa application system (http://www.visa.gov.tr).
 Earlier, the Turkish envoy to Bangladesh Devrim Öztürk had been called home by the Turkish government for consultations and in one sense, which is normal diplomatic practice.
However, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan reacted to war criminal Motiur Rahman Nizami’s execution. Erdogan’s predecessor Abdullah Gul also requested to the Bangladesh government in 2012 not to pursue the trial of war criminals that apparently made the Bangladesh government surprised.
