The withdrawal of the Turkish ambassador to Dhaka after the execution of Motiur Rahman Nizami, the infamous war criminal and one of the architects of the genocide of 1971, comes as no surprise. 

Turkey and the Ottoman Empire have a long history of religious oppression on both Muslims and non-Muslims. The present Turkish government has deviated from the founding principles of Kemal Ataturk. So, it's no wonder that they will side with perpetrators of genocide.
