MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the Daily Sabah newspaper, it was the first time the Turkish opposition leaders had visited the Presidential Complex in Ankara. The country's Prime Minister Binali Yildirim also took part in the meeting.
The newspaper noted that the leaders of political parties had expressed a united stance against the recent coup attempt and pledged their support for the democratically elected Turkish government, despite their differences.
On July 15, a coup attempt took place in Turkey and was suppressed the following day. The Turkish government has accused US-based dissident Fethullah Gulen and his followers of having played a key role in the coup.
Over 240 people were killed and more than 2,000 injured during the failed coup excluding the victims among the plotters, according to the country's authorities.
