ANKARA

Turkey's Parliament Speaker met his Canadian counterpart on Wednesday in the Turkish capital of Ankara.

Mustafa Sentop and Senate Speaker George Furey held a closed-door meeting lasting nearly an hour in the parliament speaker's office.

Following the meeting, Furey visited the sections of the Turkish parliament which were bombed during the defeated coup of July 15, 2016.

The Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the defeated coup, which martyred 251 people and injured nearly 2,200 others.
