The first meeting was chaired by Devlet Bahceli from the MHP (Nationalist Action Party), who at 74 is the oldest member of parliament.
Kemal Kilicdaroglu, chairman of the Republican People's Party, watched the swearing-in from the gallery as he is no longer an MP.
Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs Vassilis Kaskarelis will attend the inauguration of Tayyip Erdoğan.
