Baku – APA. A July 25 meeting initiated by Turkish President ErdoÄŸan with Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım and two opposition leaders has started at the Presidential Palace in Ankara, with the recent failed military coup attempt and measures taken against coup plotters on the agenda, Hurriyet newspaper reported.
Yıldırım was first to arrive at the palace, followed by main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal KılıçdaroÄŸlu and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli.
Sources from the office of the president informed that ErdoÄŸan will thank the three party leaders for their united stance against the coup attempt and listen to their views on the ongoing fight against the Fethullah Gülen organization within the state.
ErdoÄŸan’s invitation excluded Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) leader Selahattin DemirtaÅŸ, in a continued reaction against the party’s stance on the fight against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
ErdoÄŸan’s invitation to KılıçdaroÄŸlu will be important in mending the relationship between the two, as they have engaged in harsh quarrels over the last two years. KılıçdaroÄŸlu had refused to go to the recently built presidential palace since ErdoÄŸan moved to the massive presidential compound. The July 25 meeting will be a first for KılıçdaroÄŸlu.
The meeting at the presidential office is set for 2:00 p.m.
