Binali Yıldırım welcomes Alassane Bala Sakande in the capital Ankara

Turkey’s parliament speaker on Monday met with his counterpart from Burkina Faso in the Turkish capital Ankara.

Receiving National Assembly Speaker Alassane Bala Sakande, Parliament Speaker Binali Yıldırım said Turkey wants to improve relations with the West African country

Official high-level bilateral visits have accelerated relations between the two, he said.

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

The Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gulen orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016, which martyred 251 people and injured nearly 2,200 others.

Later, Yıldırım also received Asaf Hajiyev, an Azerbaijani deputy who serves as secretary general of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (PABSEC).
