A small group congregated outside the Turkish Embassy in Ottawa on Saturday, the same day it was announced that a military coup to seize power from the country’s government had failed.
The group, condemning the actions of armed forces members who attempted to take control from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, gathered on Wurtemburg Street and displayed the national flag about the same time as tens of thousands marched through the streets in a half dozen Turkish cities, waving flags and singing.
The violent uprising, which began Friday, left more than 250 dead.
The Canadian government on Saturday advised Canadians against travelling to Turkey.
When it became clear the coup had been unsuccessful, Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion said he commended the people of Turkey for defending their democracy and civilian rule.
“We are relieved that democracy has been preserved and that the democratically elected government remains in power. We are also encouraged by the gradual return to stability today,” Dion said in a statement.
“We stand with Turkey, a strong partner and NATO ally, as it recovers from these unsettling events. We are confident that the government and the people of Turkey will persevere against these challenges in an orderly and peaceful manner.”
