ANKARA - Reacting to the attack by AKP deputies in Parliament, CHP Chair Özgür Özel said: “Punches and kicks are flying instead of words. I am ashamed to witness this situation.” 

 

Republican People's Party (CHP) Chair Özgür Özel reacted to the attack by AKP members against TİP and DEM Party deputies. Özel described the attack as “shameful”. 

 

Özel said: “Parliament is a place to speak. If blood starts flowing in the Parliament, what will the citizens do? Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş should intervene in the most urgent situation. Punches and kicks are flying where words should be flying. There is blood on the floor. They are hitting women. It happened in front of our eyes. I am ashamed to witness this situation.”  

 

Noting that Kurtulmuş should meet with the Chairs of political parties, Özel called for a meeting.
