Turkey's Supreme Military Council to convene in Ankara

ANKARA

The first Supreme Military Council meeting under Turkey's presidential system will convene at the presidential complex on Thursday.

Before the meeting, which will be chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the council members visited Anitkabir, Ataturk’s mausoleum in the capital Ankara.

"I believe that our meeting, that we hold in this period while we experience critical developments at regional and global levels, will further strengthen our country in its fight against all terrorist organizations, particularly FETO and the PKK, which threaten our national security," Erdogan wrote in the mausoleum’s memorial book.

Following the meeting at the complex, Erdogan will hold a dinner for Supreme Military Council members.
