Brawl in Turkish Parliament: Chaos Erupts as Fistfight Breaks Out Between MPs During Debate on Jailed Opposition Lawmaker, 3 Injured (Watch Videos)
A brawl broke out in Turkey's parliament on Friday after lawmakers convened to discuss the status of a jailed opposition figure controversially stripped of his parliamentary immunity earlier this year.
Chaos ensued in Turkey's parliament on Friday as a heated debate over jailed opposition figure Can Atalay escalated into a physical altercation, leaving three lawmakers injured. The confrontation erupted after TIP deputy Ahmet Sik defended Atalay, who was controversially stripped of his parliamentary immunity in January. Sik’s comments, accusing ruling party lawmakers of being the "biggest terrorists," sparked outrage among President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s supporters. Former footballer and AKP lawmaker Alpay Özalan escalated tensions by shoving Sik to the ground, leading to a scuffle. The brawl followed a recent constitutional court ruling that declared Atalay's ouster "null and void," contradicting parliament's earlier decision. Footage of the incident showed blood stains on the parliament floor, highlighting the deep divisions within Turkey’s political landscape.
