Reportedly, Stoltenberg will hold a number of meetings in Ankara.

This will be his first visit to Turkey after the military coup attempt in the country.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had said the death toll as a result of the military coup attempt stood at 246, excluding the coup plotters, and over 2,000 people were wounded.

Erdogan declared a three-month state of emergency in Turkey on July 20.
