Turkey subsequently signaled a shift in its position by calling more loudly on Gadhafi and his family to step down and pave the way for defusing the tension, but the closure of the embassy suggests such efforts may have fallen short.

Turkey shuts down its embassy, revises Libya plans - Hurriyet Daily News and Economic Review

Turkey had been resisting shutting down its embassy in Tripoli, which was also representing the United States, the United Kingdom and Italy. As a member of NATO, Turkey’s decision to leave Tripoli sparked questions about whether the alliance will intensify its military operation against targets in the Libyan capital.

It was a four-way embassy?? So when you're inside the gates you're on American/Turkish/British/Italian soil simultaneously? That would be awesome...4 places at once...
