Shouldn't it be "where is THE parliament?". It sounds odd without the article?

Lesson 1 of the politics skill should be called "Arabic loanwords" lol
hükümetin, meclisteki, cumhurbaşkanının,
Yep! Political and religious words are mostly from Arabic :)

Again, no one asked, but the root of Arabic "majlis" is "jalasa," that means to sit (down), describing pretty well what the members do there. Contrast that to Parliament or Le Parlement, where their members are there to talk.
That's what I thought too... I thought Meclis was council - TBMM is the Turkish Grand National Council as I understand it (Türkiye büyük milet meclisi) or the İstanbul city council gets called Meclis too, unless İstanbul has a congress instead of a council...

In general speaking and understanding from Meclis it s understood TBMM. But the city council is "İl Meclisi".

Because you only rewrite what was written above instead of translating it in English.
