Breaking News... Tension at CHP Group Meeting in Parliament: Scuffle breaks out in front of TBMM Dikmen Gate!
As anticipation builds over who will speak at the CHP group meeting scheduled for 1:30 PM, security measures have been increased at the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM). Crowds grew in front of the TBMM from the early morning hours, and a scuffle broke out in front of the Dikmen Gate.
As discussions regarding the crisis of absolute nullity within the CHP continue, all eyes have turned to today's group meeting.
Security measures have been increased at the TBMM following announcements that Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who was brought to the CHP Chairmanship by a court decision, and the elected Chairman Özgür Özel would both hold speeches on the same day, at the same time, and at the same address.
It was learned that the Özel camp submitted visitor applications for 4,400 people, while the Kılıçdaroğlu side submitted applications for 1,200, leading to a buildup in front of the TBMM since the early morning hours.

Citizens who arrived in front of the Parliament's Dikmen Gate protested against Kılıçdaroğlu with slogans such as "There is no salvation alone, either all together or none of us," "Trustee Kemal," and "The trustees will go, we will remain."
As of 9:20 AM, it was learned that the entrance gate was closed and no one, including the press, was being allowed inside. High security measures at the TBMM also drew attention.
According to information obtained, figures such as Gökhan Günaydın, Suat Özçağdaş, and Özgür Karabat have taken their places in the hall at the TBMM for Özgür Özel's group meeting.
Members of parliament entered the hall ahead of the CHP's TBMM Group Meeting, which will begin today at 1:30 PM.
