Turkish ambassador to Bangladesh Devrim Ozturk returned on Friday after long three months' stay in the Turkish capital of Ankara following the ‘tension’ brewed up between the two countries apparently over the execution of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami leaders has eased.
On the other hand, Bangladesh ambassador to Turkey M Allama Siddiki also left for Ankara on Wednesday last after two months' stay here, a foreign ministry official told UNB over phone.
Both countries had called back their respective ambassadors for 'consultations' following the execution of Jamaat chief Matiur Rahman Nizami who was executed on 11 May this year.
The Turkish ambassador also informed the foreign ministry here of his arrival through official channel.
After the incidents, Bangladesh described its relations with Turkey as 'normal' and there has been no 'rift' even after Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan's reaction to the execution of Nizami.
Foreign minister AH Mahmood Ali, earlier, clarified that the Turkish ambassador in Dhaka was not 'called back' rather he went to his country for 'consultations' which is normal in diplomacy.
Two weeks after Devrim Ozturk's departure, Dhaka and called back its ambassador in Ankara Allama Siddiki for ‘consultations’.
Earlier on 19 May, the Turkish embassy in Dhaka, amid confusion in the wake of media reports, said the embassy here is open and fully operational.
Erdogan's predecessor Abdullah Gul had also requested the Bangladesh government in 2012 not to pursue the trial of Jamaat leaders on charge of crimes against humanity occurred in the 1971 liberation war.
Meanwhile, Turkey called back three of its diplomats from its mission in Dhaka on charge of their involvement in the recent "failed coup attempt" in Turkey, said a diplomatic source.
The three diplomats, including Chargé d'Affaires of Turkish embassy Ahmed Gurbuz, left Dhaka for the US and Russia instead of going back home.
Ahmed Gurbuz along with another diplomat reportedly flew to the United States, while another for Russia with his full family.
Quoting Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, international media on Friday reported that 32 of 208 diplomats recalled by Turkey after the failed coup attempt last month are still at large.
The Turkish government has received information that they have fled to various countries, the Turkish foreign minister was quoted as saying.
