Opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) Chairman Devlet Bahçeli will attend the grand democracy rally in Istanbul's Yenikapı Square on August 7 to wrap up the anti-coup rallies which emerged following the failed July 15 coup attempt.

Bahçeli's decision was announced shortly after Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım's call to invite him.He tweeted on his account that he will 'attend the Democracy and Martyrs rally on August 7 to 'crown' the national determination which displayed itself since July 15.'

Bahçeli further said that the will of the nation will finalize the 'democracy watch.'

Bahçeli's tweets were retweeted by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Twitter, who invited the chairmen of both MHP and the Republican People's Party (CHP) to join the rally, which he said will be the greatest of its kind in the history of Turkey.
