ADEN
Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi met Thursday with Turkish Ambassador Fazli Corman, a presidential source has said.
"The meeting tackled developments in Yemen," the source, requesting anonymity, told The Anadolu Agency.
No further details were available.
Yemen has remained in a state of chaos since last September, when the Shiite Houthi militant group took over Sanaa, from which it has sought to extend its control to other parts of the country.
Last month, the Houthis issued what they described as a constitutional declaration dissolving parliament and establishing a 551-member transitional council.
The Houthi group had also placed Hadi and several government ministers under house arrest, but Hadi managed to flee Sanaa last month to the southern city of Aden.
Upon his arrival in Aden, Hadi dismissed as "null" and "illegitimate" all recently-issued Houthi decrees. He also wrote to Yemen's parliament, withdrawing a resignation he had tendered earlier.
Most of Yemen's political forces – along with some neighboring Gulf countries – have described the Houthi takeover of Yemen's power as a coup against constitutional legitimacy.
